[QUOTE="catamountsierra, post: 2002303, member: 79865"] Yep, 284Win would definitely have longer legs in a long action, but I only had the short action to work with. I'm quite happy running the 168 class bullets at the same speeds I was getting with the 140 class when the rifle was a 7mm-08. With a long action you should be able to seat those long bullets so the front of the boattail is at the shoulder-neck junction, which would open up a lot of powder volume. As it is, I have the base of the bullet 0.483" below the shoulder-neck junction. [/QUOTE]
