The .284 Winchester is an example of a commercially unsuccessful cartridge that has enjoyed a resurgence in interest due to interest from long-range competitive shooters. Introduced by Winchester in 1963, the .284 Winchester was designed to squeeze .270 Winchester and .280 Remington performance from the new Winchester Model 100 autoloader and Winchester Model 88 lever action rifles. The end result was a 7 mm cartridge with about the same overall length as the .308 Winchester but with a wider body that yields a powder capacity about the same as that of the .270 Winchester and .280 Remington.
