[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 1541920, member: 5219"] Sounds like a fun package Jud. The 284 was so far ahead of its time back in 1963. Imagine a 35 degree shoulder back then! I cut into a Winchester case years ago and found the wall thickness just above the web to be thicker than Winchester's 300 win mag. I have had a 284 since early 80s. Have used up a few barrels and killed many coues wt, javelina and several elk not to mention jackrabbits and coyotes. Current one is with a 23.5" barrel, a set back and rechambered 7-08. Shoots Berger hunting 168 VLD @ 2925 fps with 52 gr of RL-17. Fed 210 primers. I had so many Winchester pieces I opted to order a reamer with a .315" neck so I could turn the necks. OAL right at 3.050" to fit and feed from SA. Throated so 168 VLD is .010" into lands. Base of bullet is very close to neck shoulder junction. I would love to get some of the norma 284 brass but with over 600 pieces of old win brass there is no need. Are you going to hunt with the 180 ELD-M? Looking forward to hearing more on your project.
