[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 838091, member: 5219"] The 284 load data is still reflecting lower pressures for the two original rifles chambered for it back in 1963, the model 88 Lever action rifle and Model 100 semi automatic. There should be different load data for bolt action rifles. IMO the 284 Win and 280 AI can be loaded to the same pressures. I have had several Rifles in 284 win over the years and still have one. With the longer high BC bullet offerings the 284 would make even in a long action. My SA Ruger tang safety has a lengthened mag box of 3.1". My favorite powder for this hunting rifle is RL-17. If you do decide to use the 284 neck up Lapua 6.5-284 cases. The quality is better than Winchester or even Norma brass. Recently helped a friend put together a load for his Jarrett 280 AI. It shot very accurately and was easy to find the best load. Used Nosler brass. Can't tell you which one to use. Your choice. [/QUOTE]
