[QUOTE="Vigilantesofmt, post: 2453461, member: 112510"] I had the same idea about 8 years ago. I built a 284 on a short Defiance action and paired it with 162gr ELD-Xs. Very accurate rifle. However, a lot of the potential was lost due the longer bullets taking up case space in order to work in a short action. If I was to do it again I would use a long action. I would go for cartridge that truly works well in a short action if you want to shoot that weight of bullet. My lesson learned. [/QUOTE]
