Thread: Reloader 17 load data for 284 Winchester

Got up to 56gr in mine, seated long though which makes a difference. 19" barrel broke 2900 settled on 2750 though, the 2900 was an "oh sh#$" moment

I am going to load my 284 with 2209 as I have a good supply and figure with the 19" bbl I can still generate good speeds. Anyone else on here using 2209?good results?

52 gains 2209 with 160 tmks doing 2810fps out of a 22 inch barrel. Any more and accuracy drops off.

The 2750 load I settled on was 2209 at max adi book charge weight

Use 2209 for bush loads with 145gn or 154 gn pills. Around 53 - 54 gns 2209 gave best/safe results in my 284s. You'd need to back off load a bit for 160 - 162 gn pills I'm guessing

Quick load data I posted was at factory lenght and seating well out for a longer action will make quite a bit of difference.

My experience with 2209, is that it is a bit slower, but super temp stable and always easy to find an accurate load for.

RL16 would be worth a look as well meant to be more temp stable than 17.

h414/win760 gives good velocity and consistency

You got yours up and running yet.
I have a few 154 SST if you want to try them.

Gunworks put it in the post today so have it this weekend! Bloody excited. Will pm you for those SSTs mate, appreciate it. Taken GWHs advice and am going to try Sierra 150gks as well.

2209 will be fine if you want to use the 150 gamekings but RL17 is the fruit with 162elds. A little under 54gns with a CBTO of 2.525" is a sweet load for my rig...Naturally work up and you may also have to neck turn if you have the tighter chamber...Good luck its a sweet caliber

Thanks to all. Brilliant info! I'm having a 25.5inch barrel put on a sako 75 action. I'll post my results.

Pills/loads I’ve mentioned are seated way longer than SAAMI. To get best out of 284 u want them hanging way out there..... COL 3.00 to 3.175. Assuming your chamber throat will allow

Very impressed guys, these things are wild. I found a 6.5x284 case from when I had a Savage F class. Shot a 6" 3 shot group at 1100m with that thing. Rolled the case around in my hand a bit and noted how awesome it is and how odd it is we don't use them much. Quite surprised by these 162 Amax velocities from such short barrels. You have a very short handy rifle capable of knocking stuff over way out there. Very cool.

Awesome! Do you know what the max load is mate?

That is spot on info. Thank you.
