I have a .284 Winchester that my grandfather gifted me which he built years ago. My grandfather was a machinist, tool and die maker. Used to run an old-school lathe and very gifted with precision. He has since passed so I want to honor his memory and keep using the rifle. The rifle is built off a Mauser action and has a 24-inch barrel. Unsure on barrel twist rate. The chamber is quite long, given that standard .284 COAL is 2.8 inch while a COAL that touches the lands is 3.17 inch. Finding .284 Win factory ammo is essentially impossible. I have plenty of once-fired brass.

Curious if anyone here on HT has experience with a .284 Win and would be interested in hearing how you are reloading for your 284 Win. Wanting to know bullet, bullet weight, powder, powder charge, seating depth, etc...
