    Good information thanks Pommy. Similar to my results with the 139s. RE16 has velocity advantage for the same Load in grs as 2209 but not significant. I have some 120bts for my 7mm08 and might give them a go in the 284 at about 57grs RE16 to see how they shoot. Thanks for sharing. I also have some 140bts that I’m going to try instead of the Hornadys with a better BC (0.48 vs 0.39) at 56grs RE16 and should be about 3050fps in my rifle.
