Thread: 284 Powder and Bullet advice

I've always liked the NBT so unless the others show stellar accuracy I will probably go that way. The 162 is shooting very well though and I do have a decent supply of them (for now).
I think RL26 has too much bulk and is not going to be as quick as RL16 or 17 with 17 having the speed edge. The pressure from RL26 is very low from what im reading though, like 10KPSI lower than the rest. For a larger cartridge it should be the shizzle.
H414/Win 760 also shows a lot of promise on paper.
Someone elses QuickLoad data in the link for a 29" 284Win. YMMV

I use IMR 4350 behind my 150gn NBT's...but it is not even listed on that table.
