[QUOTE="wapiti13, post: 85244, member: 2212"] From the Gunweek article, you can see the accuracy potential. Like all rifles, how you build it and with what parts has a big effect. In horsepower, the 284 Win can match the 280 Rem with bullets up to 140 grains (which are the ideal weight for the case). Go heavier & the 280 will outdrive the 284. Out of a 22" barrel, I can run 2950 - 3000 fps with the 140 gr bullets. Pick the right bullet and you can shoot most critters around with good results and use a short action light rifle if desired. Just watch your bullet selection since pushing 3000 fps destroys many conventioal bullets upon impact. 284 outsteps both the 7-08 and 308 as far as trajectory and energy is concerned at most hunting distances.
