    Back to my old favourite....7mm that shortened improved 284 sounds interesting...enough grunt to drive a dirty old heavy lead nose for the bush hobbits or a sleek much improved pill for those with steady hands....(although this is for ~200 yard shots) Would have a lot of potential applications across the country

    I like the sound of the Shortened and Improved 284. Could be a good alrounder, Corelot bricks for up close and still enough grunt to push an A-max or similar
