You could likely push that a fair bit more if you wanted. I run 162 Amax at 2700 fps very accurately from a 17 inch 284 barrel. And 180gr eld-m at 2800 from a 22 inch 284

Thanks for the note. Yes, I could go faster if I wanted to, but it’s really only a 0-400 rifle and it kills everything I shoot just fine.

By the way, your article on .284 load dev a long time ago was one of the major drivers in my decision to build a .284 Win as a good NZ all-rounder. I love it, so thanks for the help. Seventenths’ advice was also very useful.

Cheers
