Thread: 284 Win barrel length/projectiles

I run 20in and 22in with 162 AMAX or 160gn TMKs for medium to longer range and 145gn Speer HC or 140gn AB for bush load. This covers everything out to 7-800 yards. Would do the same if it was 18in bbl. 150ELDx is pretty good all rounder but probably a bit frangibke for really close stuff. Drilled a stag thru both shoulders at 125 yds with ELDX this roar, pill - well actually just the jacket and base - resting against skin on the off side. Complete jacket separation. Have toyed with idea of running really big pills like 180 VLDs or 180 ELDMs with the idea they might be “one pill does everything” but have not had time to pursue that
