30-284 Winchester anyone shooting it

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.
 
Let's revisit this little puppy I think I want to concentrate on the 185 grains class of bullets any help on loads would be appreciated.
 
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.
