Dirtfarmer,
How long have you had your .338-284 and have you done much load workup or hunting with it? I'd be interested to hear your esperiences. When looking to rebarrel my Rem 700 LA I was very seriously contemplating the .338-.284 but at the last minute found some 6.5-284 Redding Comp bushing dies for a great price on Long Range Hunting from a guy and took that as a "sign from above' that I was supposed to have a 6.5!
It helped that I've always been a big 6.5 fan, though (and brass was an easier proposition).
Anyway, I really like the .284 Win platform, both the parent and its many offspring, and it's interesting to hear from a guy who actually has a .338-284. BTW, is your rifle a long action? I personally think the .284 Win family cartridges shine in a long action so you can seat those long, heavy-for-caliber bullets way out there and leave room for lotsa slow powder!
