Just for perspective and utilizing the 284 Win to its full performance capabilities, F-Class shooters load 180 gr and 190 gr bullets with BC at .725 to .840 with COAL at 3.235” to 3.275”. Trying to squeeze top end from a 3.0” action will still prohibit many projectiles and never achieve overall top performance.
Today most would conclude/concede that the 284 Win somewhat resides in no man’s land. Those who load it to SAAMI specs have a respectable game getter somewhere between a 7-08 Rem and a 280 Rem, but far short of its capabilities when housed in a std .473” long action bolt at 3.235” COAL. Same set up as a 6.5-284 Norma.
