Thread: Short action 284 loads

Hello

I've ended up with a 284 win built in a rem 660 action (not prefrence but the price was right and has a bit of history) due to mag length of approx 70mm I was curious to see what others have done with short action mag restrictions. Hoping to get something fairly flat shooting to 350-400y. I was thinking I maybe able to squeeze in a 140 accu bond or partition. I've got a couple of lbs of RL26, 2208, 2213sc, rl17 so would be keen to see what others have achieved. Or any other reccomend projectiles/loads. The last 284 was quite slow with 2208 but I was using heavier projectiles and was trying to push it a bit further. Currently only. Running a 1-4 leupold but may swap to a 2-7 and add a cds turret to make the most of the setup as it's fairly lightweight rig. Mostly to be used South Island tops, tahr/cham/reds. Cheers
