Im in the market for a somewhat dual purpose compact whitetail/hog rifle. I will be buying a ruger 77 hawkeye in 7mm-08 and cutting the barrel to 19". Also, thinking about a rechamber to 284 Win. I want to create 2 main loads for it. 1) A Hornady 175 gr RN for close range deer and hogs. 2) A 139 gr Hornady SP for Whitetail at 250-300 or so yards. I wanna push those 175's as fast as i can. My main concern with the 284 Win is OAL. Anybody know if I can get the 175's in that case far enough to be able to cycle in that short action with out killing the powder space I would be gaining with the rechamber?
