    +1 for 284. Mines nearly finished looks like it will get the 162 amax up to 3k no issues. First loads were up at 3120 with mild pressure signs. Cant wait

    Just remember if its lapua brass mild pressure signs are usualy getting well up there, it doesn't seam to mark that easy but when it does you get loose primers after a few firings, then blown primers. This was not with 284 so that brass may be different..... go cautiously or you will be throwing brass away sooner than you think


    284 is a good cal, as it 280, 280AI, etc
    Fishing ... Hunting its all good
