    .284 win?

    Re: .284 win? Honestly, since I had spent a bunch of time between 50.0gr and 52.0gr of RL17 I figured I was safe to START with the 50.7gr H4350 Litz load from the 7mm Cartridge Guide. I haven't tried anything else.

    .284 win?

    Re: .284 win? With necked-up Lapua brass, 180gr Berger Hybrid, CCI BR2, 30" barrel and Reloder 17, COAL ~3.19" I was seeing: 50.0gr - 2798fps (10 Jan 12) 50.0gr - 2798fps (10 Jan 12) 50.5gr - 2821fps (10 Jan 12) 51.0gr - 2847fps (10 Jan 12) 51.0gr - 2869fps (10 Jan 12) 51.0gr - 2871fps (30...

    .284 win?

    Re: .284 win? Maybe a little off-topic, but one thing I like about switching to H4350, is the logistics. I already have my Dillon RL 550B set-up for 260 Remington. RCBS Chargemaster 1500 loaded with H4350. It's super-easy to just swap tool heads and punch in a different load (50.7gr...

    .284 win?

    Re: .284 win? I was seeing occasional pressure signs at 50.0gr, 50.5gr, and 51gr Reloder 17 in my 284 Winchester. 30" Rock Creek barrel, Lapua brass necked-up, 180gr Berger (both Hybrid & VLD). Doesn't happen all the time, but it did seem to happen more often with the higher charges. The...

    300gr Bergers and H1000

    Re: 300gr Bergers and H1000 Is it odd that we're not getting the same number?

    Re: .284 data: Moon Builds a Tackdriver Why H4831sc instead of H4350?

    .284 win?

    Re: .284 win? 139gr Scenar @ 2782 (260 Remington) -vs- 180gr Hybrid @ 2796 (284 Winchester) It isn't until about 550yds that the higher BC really starts to pay off. With a DA of 6K' & 10mph wind, the 180gr is pushed ~7" less @ 800yds & ~10" less @ 900yds. --

    7mm SAUM + 180 Berger Hybrids

    Re: 7mm SAUM + 180 Berger Hybrids I've hit 2968 w/52gr of RL17 in my 284 Winchester, but that seemed too hot. --

    Switching 139 scenar HPBT for berger 140 VLD

    Re: Switching 139 scenar HPBT for berger 140 VLD I'm shooting the 139gr Scenar w/43.5gr H4350. This particular lot seems to require quite a bit more powder than the last to get the same velocity as before. Be aware, the 139gr Scenar "only" has a G1 BC of around .568. --

    ***.284 WIN LOADS***

    Re: ***.284 WIN LOADS*** To be honest, I just copied the H4350 load for the 180gr Berger VLD off the 7mm Cartridge Guide. There's definitely room in the case for more H4350... --

    7mm SAUM + 180 Berger Hybrids

    Re: 7mm SAUM + 180 Berger Hybrids In the case of Reloder 17, the ambient temperature may have a significant impact on the velocity.

    7mm SAUM + 180 Berger Hybrids

    Re: 7mm SAUM + 180 Berger Hybrids I'm OK with 2800+ compared to my 260 Remington, but I was honestly hoping to be closer to 2900fps.

    7mm SAUM + 180 Berger Hybrids

    Re: 7mm SAUM + 180 Berger Hybrids I was really looking at the SAUM, but decided to go with the straight 284 Winchester so I could use Lapua brass. I'm still kind of thinking maybe I should have done the SAUM instead. With a 30" barrel, I'm shooting the 180gr Berger Hybrid @ ~2795fps with...

    ***.284 WIN LOADS***

    Re: ***.284 WIN LOADS*** I have some H4350, so I tried that today. 50.7gr H4350, Berger 180gr Hybrid @ ~3.19", CCI BR2, Lapua brass. 30" barrel. High - 2802 Low - 2792 ES - 10 M - 2796 SD - 4 20mph winds, gusting to 30mph, so I didn't even try and shoot any groups. --

    ***.284 WIN LOADS***

    Re: ***.284 WIN LOADS*** Yep, that's exactly where I'm headed (H4831sc). I kind of waffled between the Lapua & Winchester. I wound up with 100+500 of Winchester 284 and then 100+500 of Lapua brass (two different lots of each). I've got about 15lbs of RL17 left, so I was <span...
