    Nothing but love for the rifle choice, the round and the hunt! Great work maximizing the opportunity and recovering from the good Samaratin (no knock on him) sort of hosing you up.
    Accuracy: because white space between bullet holes drives me insane.

    2,750 fps out of an 18" barrel.

    That's damned good kick out of that short tube.

    With that case capacity, shorties do pretty good

    I'm a believer. That .284 Win XP-100 you helped me with is getting better than 7mm-08 velocities from a 17" barrel using a 162 gr. bullet. Shot plenty flat on that doe antelope that ate one at 260+ yards.

    There is a first time for everything.

    You were supposed to hunt with me or something at one point, I believe. No?

    Dude, I will absolutelty plan it out. I just don't want to impose. On that note, we need to have a talk about you putting in for non-res antelope in NV. There are some bruisers on public land with your name on 'em if you are willing to put in for just a few years.

    .
    Yeah, I agree, the .284 case capacity is right close to the .30-06. It's shorter than an 06 but fatter. I love the concept of the rebated rimless case. Short action with higher capacity. A .30-284 is as hot as an .06 but fits the .308 length action. Just not quite as hot as a 300 WSM.
    Daddy, what's an enabler?
    Son that's somebody with nothing to do with his time but keep me in trouble with mom.
