    The 284 does not replicate 7mm RM performance no matter how much you would like it to.
    I am sure you will say that your 284 gets a 162 gn bullet to whatever fps, but a 7mm RM WILL make it go faster for equal pressures.
    veitnamcam, kiwijames and William like this.
    Experience. What you get just after you needed it.
