[QUOTE="86alaskan, post: 1296121, member: 75933"] I have a 284 with a savage criterion prefit that shoots great. I'd suspect your 180's will be in the 3.15-3.2in range seated. The new hot powder for great speed is RL17, and I can vouch for it being a fair amount faster than either H4350 or H4831sc. I've been using both RL17 and H4831sc and get great results from both. I use necked up 6.5-284 Lapua brass with a finished neck diameter of .312. It's very consistent. With that brass you'd probably be ok with a standard neck around .320, I believe that brass neck is .315 loaded. There is a great thread on accurate shooter about the 284 norma brass you could look into. I'd suggest redding type S bushing dies, they're accurate and will do everything you need to do well. And get a 1-8" or 1-8.5" twist, that'll handle anything in the 180gr arena. [/QUOTE]
