[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 1831926, member: 69478"] I have a lot of experience with the .284 with a long throat. It’s built on a Remington 700 long action with a 26” barrel. I shoot 175gr Berger Elite Hunters at 2850fps with no pressure signs using Peterson brass and RL23. The .284 is an excellent cartridge. I chose it to replace my .270 barrel and wanted to keep my standard bolt face. I looked into the .280 Ackley but the .284 has more brass options and better brass options to boot. It’s also ballistically very similar to the .280 Ackley. The .284 and .284 wildcats are extremely popular in F-Class competition, so brass is here to stay. I’m glad it has been brought back to light because it’s an excellent cartridge. I have yet to test 160-162gr bullets, but 2900-2950FPS shouldn’t be an issue with RL23 and a 26” barrel. [/QUOTE]
