[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 1232468, member: 5219"] The 284 was developed in 1963 to be used in an autoloader and a lever gun. Many of the loads that are published have had these rifles in mind these loads are quite anemic for bolt actions. For years Nosler didn't even include the 284 win in their loading manuals because they said the SAMMI OAL of 2.8'' had the ogive past the case mouth. When this cartridge first came out Bob Hutton took the 284 and talked very highly of it. His pet load was a 140 partition with 57 or even 58 grs of IMR 4350 for a velocity of approx. 3050 fps I have used a 140 Sierra with 57 grs of IMR 4350 as my accuracy test load. I has never failed to give 1/4 MOA with three barrels on my old M77. IMO the powders that work best in the 284 win are the aforementioned IMR 4350, H4350 which fits better and is considered more temperature stable and for high velocity RL-17. It is entirely up to you what velocity you want to use. As for brass, I would get some of the new Norma 284 brass made exclusively for Bullets.com. It is available and supposed to be long lasting and very uniform: [url=http://bulletin.accurateshooter.com/2015/01/norma-to-make-6mm-dasher-and-284-win-brass-for-bullets-com/]Norma to Make 6mm Dasher and .284 Win Brass for Bullets.com « Daily Bulletin[/url] [/QUOTE]
