So this morning I finally accomplished a goal I set 4 years ago, to get a deer with the bow. I got back into bowhunting in late 2020, and managed to get a pig in Dec 2020. A nice big boar. In March...

I'd expect to be around 3k with 160gr projectiles with a 26" barrel if you use rl26.

26” bbl I’d imagine a lot of powders will get it their it’s a very impressive very efficient often over looked cartridge

Mine is at 18.5". I get 2700 comfortably with 162gr ELD-Ms and 54.4gr of RL16 or around 55.5gr 2209 with a bit higher pressure. I have pushed it up to 2800 but was getting ejector swipes and hard...

Also 100gr hollowpoints at 3450 over AR2206H just to make wallabies die spectacularly.

One correction to my numbers above - the 150 ELDx RL17 load at 3000 fps is the 22in bbl Tikka. The same load in 20in bbl Mk5 is doing 2910fps

Love the 284….. Down to one 284 rifle now - 20inch Tikka and it’s the perfect balance. Running 162ELDX with Belmont 760 at 2770fps or RE16 does 2800 and fills the case nicely. These are seated...

You’re getting more out of your 284 than I was out of my 21” rem mag and the 162s at 2965fps. I had a 18” 284 chopped down from 22” and regretted it, I think 20” is a good all rounder launching a...

I’ve got two 284s, ones a Tikka 22in TF bbl get 3010 fps with 162 ELDMs & RL26, or 2950 fps with RL17. The other is Wby Mk5 Ultralight with factory 20in bbl running 160 TMKs at 2830 fps with...
