Thread: 338-284win

Anyone got one or had one?
Thinking about one for something different. A bit more grunt than a 338 federal.
Built in on my R93, 18" barrel, supressor, 210ttsx @2800?

Sounds like a cunning plan.

Cant comment on that caliber in particular but have had a 30-284 built threw Terminator products.
Interweb performance puts it around 3006 but developed loads well out perform factory3006 data tho Im sure the dirty old 6 could be loaded to match.
Im no doubt a touch hamstrung by the action length with heavy for caliber bullets(and hence loaded round length because of my doner action) but am very happy with its performance.

I could be wrong in assuming this but I don't think you would get 2800 with a 210gr projectile, if memory serves me I think the average velocity for a 175 -180 grain projectile in a 284 is 2600-2800, I can't see how you could get a larger projectile going faster from the same case capacity. 2800 for a 210 TTSX would require a decent amount of powder to shunt it down the barrel.

With the right powder choice I think 2800fps would be possible with the 210 TTSX, but not in a barrel as short as 18"
