[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 1161719, member: 5219"] I agree with Dr. Vette it would be a good idea to build your second rifle around Lapua brass. The two that stand out for me and would be fun to shoot and are capable of taking deer at fairly long range are the 7-08 and the 308. Both are easy to load and you won't even need a brake. Your original thought on getting a 284 is actually a good one. It is one of my favorite cartridges. I have had a 284 in the collection for 30 yrs. I have taken many elk, deer and javelina as well as coyotes and jackrabbits. It fits in between the 7-08 and the 7 Rem mag in performance. It is easy to load and quite versatile. 120 to 168 gr bullets are practical range of bullets. H-4350 and RL-17 IMO are the best powders. My current rifle a 7 1/2 lb sporter has a 23 1/2" barrel and shoots the 168 VLD at 2835 fps. I shot a coues wt at 450 yds with it this year. While Lapua doesn't make the regular 284, Norma does! It is a special run made for the owner of Bullets.com. This brass is supposed to be the very best with features that surpass the original Winchester brass and should equal Lapua brass. Here is a link on this new brass.
