Yeah your right you are trying to turn silk purse into a sows ear. Stick with the 06 in this action ,you don't see many 06 loads over 49k cup but 284 loads are worked to 54k cup. You want a 284 go find a newer commercial action donor. Hot loaded 284 is not the way to take care of your legacy gun. MB
From what I read in Hatcher's Notes the Remington 03 actions were tested to 125k. So that leads me to believe I shouldn't have issues with pressure. My main concern is feeding issues. This will not be a single shot rifle. I've read of many different types of Mausers being chambered for the 284, but I've never run across an 03 being chambered for a 284. I'm not afraid to have some work done on the feed rails, but I'm curious to know if any members have done a 284 Win on an 03 and what their results were.
