.284 Winchester, newer loads for 150 gr Eld x or M, 160 gr Nosler

Ever get a chance to try the staball with the 150gr? I've got a good load for my 284 and 180 eldm but I'm gonna tinker with some 150's for a lighter recoiling option when I don't plan to shoot as far. I've got a good amount of SB6.5 and h4350 on hand to try out

IME... I've found that H4350 is easy money every time with 150 grain bullets.
Yeah, It may not be as fast as RL17 but H4350 is easy to find a good load with 150's that gives good velocity with exceptional accuracy and consistency that'll hit the mark every time!

A very good F class shooter/rifle smith once told me... who cares about 50-75 fps less velo if you can dial 2 or 3 clicks more and hit the "X" every time and keeps your hard to find brass in good shape.

Depending on pressure…When I run some of my hotter hunting loads I'll have to trim a bit after 2-3 loadings on Win brass.
Milder loads go 5-6+...without annealing.

Great minds think alike! I already swapped my bolt stop and moved to the L mags in my 7-08 and would do the same in the .284. What's your barrel length and MV on the .284? The barrel I'm targeting for rechambering is an OEM 22" stainless super lite.

My barrel is the same as yours factory superlte. I think they are actually 22.6. MV is 2915
