    The .284 is an overbore cartridge and is designed for longer barrels with moderately slow powder (factory ballistics are based on 24" barrels). You could carefully work up some loads with a slightly faster powder but you are never going to reach factory velocities with a 17" barrel. 2600 fps is a perfectly respectable velocity for anything out to 250-300 metres.
    Shearer and chainsaw like this.
