Just because we all have the right to do foolish things. Has anybody ever mady a 9.3 wildcat on a 284 win case or any other short action unbelted case.

The sole purpose of a rifle is to please its owner

Mike, wildcatters generally tend to be speed oriented so a 9.3-.284 would be too slow for most to mess with but in fact would be a very good hard hitting cartridge for large game that could be used in a short action with moderate practical velocity. Figure some measurements as to how far a 286 grain spitzer would incroach on powder capacity when seated to clear a short magazine. Velocity would probably fall between the 9.3x62 and 9.3x57 catridges.

Due to the lenth of bullets of the 9.3 and the short neck and lack of powder space of the 284, when the two are combined its a no brainer to see why it wouldn't fly...you sure want a 9.3 to handle the 300, 320 gr. bullets as well as the 250 and 286...Also 284 brass is harder to come by than 9.3x62..If you use a long action and seat thebullet out, then why not go with the 62 or 64 and have better rounds...The 284 is only practical in short actions.

At least, thats my opinnion.
