   In the early days of 284 popularity in F Class the Yanks said the 284 likes "good" clearance. I could never work out how a cartridge could have the intelligence to know it needed good clearance....

   Federal claim 2820fps from a 24" barrel. I chrono'd it in a Remington 700 22" barrel at just on 2800fps so was happy enough with that.
