[QUOTE="TOM H, post: 1270535, member: 306"] This is what target 284 looks like [url=http://www.6mmbr.com/gunweek088.html]Record-Setting .284 Win F-Classer[/url] I have 280AI also 284 on long action and I had gunsmith order 2-7mm,1/9 twist barrels from Lilja and had both barrel finished length 27". With 284 I was just wanting another deer/antelope rifle and 280AI for elk and if I draw buck and elk tag same season and it's good addition to what I already like to use. I do like 284 case as in the past builds, 284 on short action also couple 6x284 and 6.5x284 Norma long action. I use Nosler brass in the 280AI and never had a problem with it. I don't use either rifle for targets and I have shot 180gr Berger VLD in both and tell you the truth I'd like little more horsepower with 180gr for me to use them hunting and that's just me. I stay with 160gr/168gr with 280AI and both are long throated. I used Laupa in the 6.5x284 Norma so their is brass for 284. You can get on site I posted about target 284 and some using that Norma 284 and if you decide on 284 make sure reamer that is used work with that brass. Kind of hard for me to pick one over the other as they were build for different reasons vs what your looking for. I do agree with MudRunner you have short action and I'll leave it at that. [/QUOTE]
