And if there was a weight that was the the best combo of performance vs barrel length.

You'll probably only have the twist rate for 162's anyway then. I've shot a few animal with the 284 using 162 eldm closest about 40 furthest about 500. Has performed awesome at all ranges.

Probably wouldnt try punch it through a big red shoulder up close but thats not what the primary ourpose of the rifle is.

I'm probably going to have a play with the 150 eld x as well

My barrel is 19inchs and I'm at 2750 with the 162's and h414/win 760
