I don't think you'd have any problem with a hot loaded .284 in an s03 OR 03-A3 action. You didn't mean 03-A3 did you? Remington made a train full during the war. I know what you said about not wanting to entertain a .280 or the .280 AI but I gotta say, either one is a natural in an 03 or 03-A3.

I'm not 100% sure about the .280 AI but the regular .280's a breeze to load for and gets lots of velocity even without being reamed out to an AI.
