Ok, I’ll jump in here. First, they are all brass, primers, powder, twists, and barrels. Nothing magical about any of them. In a world of a few constants, throw in a bowl full of variables in the field, and you’ll never know the difference between cartridges from 6.5 to 33 on game.
But, the 284 Win is a very good cartridge, handicapped at the outset, thus never gaining the notice it deserves, especially since R17 came along. I don’t know that I’d start with that rifle you mention because this rifle, IMO, demands, a lightweight build with a just long enough box, tube, and twist faster than 10:1.
Do it but not with “that” rifle. Start from the ground up.
