I think it might be you who put me onto the .284 for the pre 64 30-06. Did you leave the magazine the same length or have to put block in it like the for the .308 Win?

I left the magazine the same length and also cut the chamber a little deeper so I could lengthen out the OAL on the cartridge. This is what makes the 284 really shine. Factory loads have the bullet crammed in pretty deep.
