[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 326671, member: 1007"] I have concidered toying with this very thing. It would be a step up from the 308 but sub magnum for moderate recoil, good barrel life etc.... I was thinking of running the 208 AMAX and the 177 GS bullets. I am getting up to 2550 out of the 208 AMAX in my 308 (2500 for accuracy). Using the bigger 284 case and subsequently gaining velocity over the 308, this would give the straight 284 a solid run for its money using any 7mm bullet. If I could get the 177 GS bullets flying good, it could really be interesting. Recoil would still be a bit stouter than the 284 but would also deliver more energy on the other end as well. With the added burn area of the 30 cal bore over the 284 bore, you will get near the same velocity with the 30 cal 208 as the 284 cal 180. [/QUOTE]
