    Mine is 19 inches. I run 162 eldms at 2750. Pretty stiff load.
    Kills shit pretty damn well.

    While I have the 284 community here, does anyone have load data for 139grain? I have some RL17 and RL26, and a bit of 2209

    Have not used 139gn pills but pretty much every pill from 145gn to 162gn I’ve tried ends up somewhere between 53-54gn RL17 for accuracy node and good velocity

    I ran a 17” 284 for a while. Had the 162 ELD-M at 2700 with Rel 17 and 2600 with 2209. Killed things very dead out to 550. If I was gonna do it again I would go somewhere 18 - 20”. 19 is a nice compromise

    How did you find the recoil with the 162s?
