What is it about the Kimber action that makes it unsafe with the .284?

If anything it's diameter, or actually the lack thereof. The Kimber action is set up for the 308 case head size and so is pretty slim.

Thanks, Mathman. But doesn't Kimber chamber a couple of the WSM cartridges?


"An archer sees how far he can be from a target and still hit it, a bowhunter sees how close he can get before he shoots." It is certainly easy to use that same line of thinking with firearms. -- Unknown
