[QUOTE="spyglass, post: 1263383, member: 13068"] It wasn't a real big success. In an effort to increase case capacity and still keep std bolt face and action length, Winchester made it a fatter round with a rebated rim. It is capable of performance on a par with the .270 & .280, but really not much of an improvement on the 7-08, which is a very efficient cartridge. You might advise yr friend that unless his rifle is a junker or cheapie, he's gonna decrease it's value and really not gain anything.....and brass (and ammo) will be much harder to come by. If he's really convinced the .284 is worth having, he'd be better off trying to find a used one somewhere. I don't think any of the mfrs chamber for it anymore..... [/QUOTE]
