When the bbl is shot out on the Wby Mk5 I’ll be going to 18in bbl.

You’re getting more out of your 284 than I was out of my 21” rem mag and the 162s at 2965fps.
I had a 18” 284 chopped down from 22” and regretted it, I think 20” is a good all rounder launching a 162 at 2800ish what more do you need as an all round rifle for NZ hunting
