[QUOTE="HSmithTX, post: 2452431, member: 121677"] In a 2.8" action they top out at 160's in my opinion and even that is going to be slower than most will find acceptable. The bullets start getting really long at 150 and up which uses up a lot of powder space in the case. I shoot 160 GameKings out of one of mine and with an 18" barrel it's hard to get much over 2600. That said a good cup and core bullet at 2550 kills very well, deer and elk both with mine and at this speed the GameKing performs beautifully from touching distance to 400 yards. I think the perfect 284 Win action would be about 3.1" for 150-160's, and to run 175-195 I would put it in a standard long action. [/QUOTE]
