Anyone using 195g bergers in a 284 Win?

[bjamin]

Hey, just wondering if anyone has tried the 195g bergers in the 284 win?I've tried a few and have had really good results. I find I do have to push them a little.

Im using 56g of h4831sc

Anyone else have loads?

What velocity are you getting? What twist rate?

They would be seated very deep in the case would they not? Not much case capacity with such a short neck OAL.........Harold

Jesus, that's a lot of bullet. Can't imagine why a person would want to use a bullet like that.

They're a great long range bullet if you have the velocity and twist to stabilize them.

The 180s are kind of the gold standard in a .284.

I'll probably pick up a box and work with them. I am reamed for the 180s so a couple thou deeper shouldn't be an issue.

By the way 56grains is my load for the 180s

1000 yard drift of 4 MOA @ 10 mph. Close to a couple thousand Fps left over with my 28 Nosler. Whatever frangible bullet piece of mind can be derived at close range by slowing it down a tad and starting with more bullet.

It was my bullet of choice in my 7 STW for years, when I could find them. - dan

I'm getting them going 2700fps in a 1:8 twist. They are in a long action loaded with the boatail just at the bottom of the neck.

I tried another load test ad found I could get similar results with them .020 off and only 55g h4831sc

What does that mean?

I've shot them from my 8 twist 280 Ackley. Very accurate, 2675 fps with RL26 (22.5" barrel). Shot a moose, and it died

Pretty simple. If you're of the mind that a VLD bullet is going to vaporize into a cloud of pixie dust and drift harmlessly away after touching hair because you happened to take a shorter shot; you might alleviate some of your angst by starting with a heavier bullet at lower velocity.

Frangible bullet piece of mind threw me. You've been reading too many bearhunter posts.

I have no idea what Bearhunter thinks of frangible bullets.
