Not too fast for the .284W?

Re: .284W load
sounds a bit fast for that much 2213sc powder.
any 180 genuinely doing that speed and more from a 284 will be hard on brass.
actually sounds more like what you would expect with that much 2209.

Re: .284W load
Bart, as Bruce says, somethings not right. How many rounds thru it so far? are you jamming them? probably need more info.
Just to compare; my 1:8T 284 with 50.2 -2209 ran at 2780fps with 180VLD's. 54.4 of 2213sc with sierra 183 ran at 2840fps. So you may have a fast batch of powder or your chony is running fast or ???
2895fps is going to wreck your brass in no time. check the load against a Labradar to compare.

Re: .284W load
Good day Bruce
what sort of speed would you expect I should be looking at with that load; or sticking around perhaps
Thanks, Paul

Re: .284W load
Bart, not sure if you have a very fast batch of powder, but on both of my 284W barrels (exactly the same as what you have with the same components but with a .060” jump) using 55.4gr AR2213SC I was getting 2850 -2870 fps.
Using 51.8gr of AR2209 gives me the same velocity. As above.
The load you’ve stated looks very much like the upper limit for 2209.
