[QUOTE="Rflshootr, post: 2975631, member: 10284"] It depends on what you consider acceptable accuracy. If you want to shoot light 120-140 grain bullets, you should look at a 7mm-08 Remington. You'll burn 5-6 grains less powder for near the same performance. Where the 284 Win starts to shine is with 150+ grain bullets. Look at some reloading data and compare the 2 cartridges. You'll see the differences. Another contender is the 280 Rem or the 280 Rem Ackley since you have a long action. Do some comparisons and keep the barrel length that was used in mind. I'm not trying to steer you away from the 284 Win, just opening options for your intended use, which I'm not quite sure what you have in mind. [/QUOTE]
