I'd start at 50gr of 2209 and work up slowly. I know one guy who just got a 284 up and running and he's nudging over 51gr to be up around the 2800fps mark.

I would take care with using 50gn's of 2209 with the 184's My 284W liked 50gn's but with 180 VLD's running at 2800fps. If you want the primer pockets to last, start lot lower.
