Suppose you reload and you don't consider obtaining brass for 284 a p.i.t.a.
Is it worth cutting a 7mm-08 gun up to 284 win for added performance?
The goal is to have the most efficient hunting rifle to shoot 150 to 165 grain bullets. With medium recoil similar to a 308.
I like the Browning A bolt Stainless Stalker, it would be 22" barrel 1 in 9.5 twist.
On paper it looks to be like the 284 is a significant upgrade from the 7mm-08. A couple hundred FPS in some instances.
