[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 1276743, member: 5219"] Have had a 284 win for over 30 years. It has been rebarreled three times. Also had two others during over the years. IMO best powders: H4350 or RL-17 With 24" barrel you can expect: 3200-3250 with 120 3100-3150 with 140 3000 with 150 2850-2875 with 160 Currently I am using a custom reamer throated for the 168 VLD. Magazine is a 3.1" Getting 2835 with RL-17 If I may make a suggestion: get the Norma brass made for Bullets.com rather than Winchester (if you can find it) or necking up 6.5-284 Lapua. This new brass is supposed to be very high quality designed to have the primer pockets last a long time. I would be using it now but I have over 400 pcs of Winchester brass (which I neck turn for my .315 necked chamber) I bought 20 yrs ago.... [/QUOTE]
