Thread: Howa actions

Hows the current .284 going for you Chris? from what I have seen on your threads looks like you have been having some success with it. I see a lot of threads downing the use of short actions for the .284 with not being able to seat the high BC 160gr + projectiles further out but at the end of the day if you have a 130 or 150gr going at .280 speeds then it would definitely lay a good wallop on deer and pigs also I have seen talk of a .284 ackley improved but I think that would be encroaching on long action material defeating the purpose of having a slightly lighter rifle than what you get in a long action.
