[QUOTE="VLD Pilot, post: 1953740, member: 103947"] There's only one other poster that brought the .284 into this scenario. Personally it's the only cartridge that fits your requirement in a short action platform with plenty of elk killing ability. I built a .284 on a short Remington action. I load to 2.980 COAL. I strictly shoot the 162 Hornady ELDs. I can push them 3000 fps from a 25" barrel. My powder is Reloader 17 and it's not a hot load. I've shot this round over 3080 but it's getting hot at that speed. Accuracy is 2975-3005. Run those numbers against any other Non-magnum short action. It's a tough combination to compete with running 162 grain bullets. Pleasant to shoot. Accurate and in a small package. Good luck. John [/QUOTE]
