    Threw a few 160 TMK’s down range today.
    Reloader 26 certainly could be a good powder in the 284Win. Loading 58g RL26 having an average speed of 2861 from a 20” barrel. Accuracy was unfortunately not as good as I had hoped at over 1”
    55g of VV N160 gave 2770fps with great accuracy and low ES. This will be my load for now.
    Reloader 16 also has good speed with 54g doing an average 2822 but not as good accuracy as the VV N160.
    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds
