...I recall ol'Cactus Jack had quite some affection for the 284, but he did criticise having to seat the heavier bullets into the case because of the cartridge case neck being so short. He thought it a finelighter bullet weight caliber though, capable of taking game as large as Elk with a well placed shot as cleanly as his beloved 270 Winchester.I have a clear recollection of this since it prompted me to buy a Savage 99F with rotary magazine in .284, which I still have.
