    Bench Talk Wildcat Wednesday; The OG Wildcatter Super 6mm Hotrod, The 6mm-284 with Cache Carlson!

    25/03/2026 | 1h 19 mins.
    Good Morning Guys!
    We are back with Cache Carlson from the Varminter Magazine crew and Cache has a very fun caliber to discuss! The 6mm-284 is a variant or wildcat off of the late  284Win and is the predecessor to the now popular 6PRC and 6UM or 6mm short mag variants. After knowing Cache's great success on a standard short action with AICS mags at 2.950" you'll absolutely see me getting a barrel spun up soon and I hope others follow! The 284Win and its wildcat children are very fun and very useful cartridges even in todays modern era of "precision rifle cartridges". 
    Best quote I've seen in awhile courtesy of "lr.noob",  "In a world full of 6 Dashers, be a 243AI"  He's 100% correct ;)

    Bench Talk; The Good Die Young, 284 Winchester

    11/03/2026 | 51 mins.
    Good Morning Guys, I apologize for not having a wildcat for wildcat Wednesday! 
    We are discussing my personal experience with the late 284 Winchester. Amazing case design that was ahead of its time and unfortunately did not grow with mainstream popularity but was resurrected and kept alive by its wild stepchildren 22-284win up to 375-284win. This cartridge is a wildcatters playground, with the only only boundaries being the cartridges case walls and your imagination. Please be safe out there, and have fun planning 2026s hunting season! Please tell us in the comments about your new rifle builds/trips/learned knowledge shooting/reloading/etc! Subscribe and leave a review! thank you for all of the support!
