[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 2233703, member: 69478"] I’m a big .284 fan. I have one built on a Remington long action and a 26” Bartlein. I have used both the 175 Berger Elite Hunters and the 180 ELDs. Both of them I got up to around 2900 without pressure signs using RL26. I settled on the 175s at 2840fps with RL23 because that’s what my rifle likes. With a 23-24” barrel you could be able to hit the same node but would probably run into pressure. I think 2750-2780fps would be a realistic velocity for the 175s in a 23-24” barrel. As Creedmoor Shooter suggested, I’d choose the 175-180 bullets over the 168 Berger. The 168 is only 7gr lighter than the 175gr but the Elite Hunter has a decent improvement in BC. The 175 also has a Hybrid ogive compared to the VLD design so it will be easier to tune and keep shooting well. [/QUOTE]
