I wish they would make a 284 based case only with the 30-06 length. You wouldn't have to change the bolt face on the many existing standard actions and probably get belted mag capacities, plus be beltless.
...
I didn't mean 284 caliber, I meant 284 the Short action cartridge with the rebated rim. If that short action cartridge were extended out to standard action length w/ same shoulders etc then the capacity would be greater, (probably close to the same diff %wise between 7-08-284).
Then it would surpass the ai versions of standard rounds and be close to or surpassing the belted mag version. Not sure here just pulling a wild guess.
Weatherby should pay some royalties for this conceptual work from 15 years ago 😉
