Good choice for 1000+ yards
Easy on the barrel compared to some other cartridges
One of the more popular cartridge choices for 1000 yd f class
I own one. Have shot to 1,000 in f class. Shoots very well. 32” Brux Barrel. 180 Berger VLD. I think about 2825 FPS but don’t have my data in front of me right now. I know guys have taken them to 1200 yards in competition. There’s several variations of the 284. Doing a search in the fclass comp category will yield a lot of results for bullets, loads etc for that cartridge. Outside of fclass I don’t know many people who own one
I also own a 260. Similar ballistics to the 6.5 Creedmore. Does well at that distance but doesn’t buck the wind like the 284. On a calm day there both accurate with the slight advantage to the 284 due to its design.
