30-284 Winchester anyone shooting it

[284winner]

not sure 30.06 will take a 155 to 3200.

Real close.

Are there other differences between a 30/284 and a 7.5 x 55 Swiss besides the 284's rebated rim?

This might help, parent cases only except the neck caliber difference.

Thanks for posting the drawings but that's a 6.5x55 Swede drawing not a 7.5x55 Swiss. I used to get those mixed up all the time, Swiss / Swede, what's the difference. hahaha I believe the Swiss casing is nearly identical to the 30/284 with the exception of the 284 having a rim diameter rebated or reduced in size to that of a 308/30-06. The Swiss casing has a rim the same diameter as the body just above the extractor rim. I was wondering if the body had a different taper or neck length, etc... I know you can expand the 284 case neck to 30 cal, load a 308 diameter bullet and it will feed right into a 7.5x55 Swiss chamber.

Yes had a 30-284 shehane on a 32" bartlein shoots very well using norma .284 brass. Rl 16 and 200 20x. I havent shot the gun or comp yet. Its actually has been a year since i last shot it. I can look at my load data and post it if your interested.

 

[Pwhite11798]

I am interested in finding out what kind of velocity you will get with the 200.20x

I am right at 2900ish i will have to check for sure.

Wow that's quite impressive how long of barrel are you running.
P.S. and what twist rate an what bullet.

I've always thought the 284 case was the original short magnum. I didn't know about the 6.5x55 yrs ago when I first saw the 284.

Pretty impressive. Never gave that cartridge a thought but after seeing those numbers, I'm looking again.

 

[Stan Taylor]

We'll if the rain holds off I'm gonna play with my 11 twist 30-284 this evening with 185gr hybrids.

 

[Stan Taylor]

We'll I'm back to testing this case any idea's appreciate it guys being there isn't a lot on this 30-284 case thinking best accuracy node for the 185 class bullets.
I want to shoot in next 1000 yd match at Whitehorse.

 

[46and2]

Stan, isn't the case capacity about the same as 30.06?
Have you tried Reloder 16?
