The .284 Winchester is a popular centerfire rifle cartridge designed in 1982 by Winchester. It is based on the .308 Winchester casing and operates at higher velocities for improved ballistics performance, including flatter trajectories and extended reach.The .284 Winchester is well-suited for medium to large game hunting due to its excellent blast characteristics and accuracy potential. It features superb knockdown power and relatively mild recoil compared to other magnum cartridges of similar dimensions. It is also capable of extreme accuracy with quality barrels and careful load development used by handloaders.

C.I.P.
The Commission internationale permanente pour l'épreuve des armes à feu portatives ("Permanent International Commission for the Proof of Small Arms" – commonly abbreviated as C.I.P.) is an international organisation which sets standards for safety testing of firearms. (The word portatives ("portable") in the name refers to the fact the C.I.P. tests small arms almost exclusively; it is ordinarily omitted from the English translation of the name.) As of 2015, its members are the national governments of 14 countries, of which 11 are European Union member states. The C.I.P. safeguards that all firearms and ammunition sold to civilian purchasers in member states are safe for the users.
To achieve this, all such firearms are first proof tested at C.I.P. accredited Proof Houses. The same applies for cartridges; at regular intervals, cartridges are tested against the C.I.P. pressure specifications at the ammunition manufacturing plants and at C.I.P. accredited Proof Houses.
