I know it shines in a LA like 700/clone or Tikka, but my questions is ltd to SA.

Pros/Cons. Mainly concerned w feeding and COL with bullets to 162s. Action is a Borden Alpine. Assume it is 3 in mag w/284.

What speeds can one get w/284 in 22-23" bbl?


1000 words in both 2.8" and 3".

2800fps is a breeze..............




BS.....You have both Shamu and WSM's in there on each side of 284 Win....correct?? Any reason to go with WSM over Shamu other than a tick more speed? Maybe brass availability??
