Anyone have any favorite 284 Win loads for 140 grain
barnes ttsx or 140 gr accubonds?

Wish I could help but my sons .284 Win likes 130 grain bullets and 150 grainers. I can't get it to like any 140 grain bullet I've tried to make it shoot.

Excellent information!

Thank you all for the info.

I had a couple do 284 in Savage 99s some years ago..I preferred the 130 gr. Speer to any other bullet for mule deer, it left 2 to 3 inch exit holes and lot of blood on the ground, either dead right there or short runs was the norm..Never had one complaint with Mule Deer or whitetail, and it killed Coues deer like a bomb.

For elk my brother used the 160 gr Nosler partition and loved it..both of used 4350 in those early days..still a good 284 powder.

Ray, that Speer 130 does work pretty good.
My oldest boy used that load going 3100 fps in his .284 Ruger flat bolt rifle.
That load was magic on a pile of Mule Deer and Antelope leaving a golf ball size exit and plenty of damage to heart and lungs. Also used the same load on a Cow Elk. The cow was one of those deals where he made a perfect heart lung shot and she walked slowly like nothing was wrong after the 3rd shot in same spot we gave her about 10 seconds and she tipped over, one shot would have done it but she was literally dead on her feet and like elk sometimes do she wouldn't tip over.
I will give this VV N150 a try though, sounds like the perfect match.

I can't get this link to work anymore, any of you copy this info and can share it with me?

That link says.....FORBIDDEN

Did you copy down any of that info?

The only thing I wrote down about the loads in that link was ".284 Win, 140 grain bullet, 48 grains VV n150 powder, WW primer".
I don't know if this was start load, max load or most accurate?
Anyone else pay attention?

My .284 Ruger likes IMR 4350 56.0 gr 140gr Nolser PT
It works very deadly combo , been using it for the pass 40+ years deer-elk-moose -bear
