[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 1489440, member: 5219"] I looked around the net and there are a few folks sharing load data: [URL]http://forum.snipershide.com/threads/22-284-project-loading-data.2448/[/URL] [URL]https://knowyourzero.com/2014/05/27/22-284-winchester-cartridge-development/[/URL] found this: Ross Seyfried wrote an article about that cartridge in Rifle or Handloader several years ago (probably about 2001) that included some decent load data- I would get a hold of that article if I were you. More digging found "To appreciate all it will do you'll need a fast twist in the 1 in 8 range... 80 grain SMK's are the bullet to use... .020 off is where they usually do best... RL 25 is a good powder or any of the slower burners... 50 grains will get you started, and go from there.... 215 Mag Federals will help also..." link: [URL]http://6mmbr.websitetoolbox.com/post/help-on-22284-needed-3362604[/URL] Several threads said many of the bullets will come apart so choose bullet wisely. I was amazed to find formed brass available: [URL]https://www.midwayusa.com/product/239124/quality-cartridge-reloading-brass[/URL] In some of the threads I read they talk about a very short barrel life of 500-700 rounds or so.
