    I have just started to load for my 284Win. The interweb has suggested using starting loads for 2209 as a good place to start with RL16. Im looking at running either 150BT, 162 A-Max and 150 ELD-X. I've always liked the NBT so unless the others show stellar accuracy I will probably go that way. The 162 is shooting very well though and I do have a decent supply of them (for now).
    I think RL26 has too much bulk and is not going to be as quick as RL16 or 17 with 17 having the speed edge. The pressure from RL26 is very low from what im reading though, like 10KPSI lower than the rest. For a larger cartridge it should be the shizzle.
    H414/Win 760 also shows a lot of promise on paper.
    Someone elses QuickLoad data in the link for a 29" 284Win. YMMV

    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
