[QUOTE="Wyo32, post: 2080896, member: 103274"] Cajon makes a great point in that the early 284's were built for old short action magazine Winchesters and the like. But guys are building them on mid actions (Tikka) and on long actions (Rem) now to seat the bullets out of the case. This fact as well as a larger body diameter, steeper shoulder angle (better burn efficiency), but still keeping rim size the same as 308/30-06, is producing awesome potential for a cartridge. As for the F-class, the barrels are lasting quite a bit longer than short mags or 6.5-284 from what I hear. Not as big of a concern for hunting rigs. [/QUOTE]
