thinking of reaming a 7mm08 to a .284 yip stole the idea,any other 7mm calibers i should look at be nice lol
I was thinking of doing it myself when I had my 7mm08 but with the rifle being a short action (unless you have a tikka T3) it would be a waste of time as the longer bullets with seating them deeply into the case just to fit the mag you lose powder capacity and penalise the potential of the caliber
Loose power capacity but loss is not that great from short action to long action with it been around 60 80feet mark on shorter barrels as well. Done a few now they go well saum another to look at to

I'm told the short action Savage 7mm08 is long enough in the mag etc to work well as a 284.
shit sorry will be a t3 probly a 18" barrel cheers
.284 like Duleys Superpig idea? Abe just finished one for a mate of mine exactly what you are thinking of and he is stoked with it
7 SAUM
Don't really see the point with such a short barrel. Not much time or space to burn all that powder without going to fast powders and high pressures.
There will obviously be some benefit but it is an expensive way to get a 280.
Is it quite alright to open up the bolt face on 708 T3 and rebore to fit saum? . Was going to go that route at one stage but ended up fitting a model 7 7mm saum barrel that I had to a 270 wsm Ruger action.Quote:

Abe reamed the 708 out to 284. Going to resize the Laupa 6.5 x 284 brass. Will let you know how we go. It's going to be a challenge with the limited availability of primers/powders and projectiles at the moment.
cool thanks man
I have a 7mm08 that I had Grant at True-Flite ream to .284 and shorten to 16"s, shoot very well 162gn at 2750fps and 140gnABonds at 2900fps both loads are at max with RL17. Could find another powder to come close and primer selection was also important, the 162gn load preferred CCI primers less pressure the 140gnABs didn't make much difference. Grant also sold us a old 6.5x55 Tikka barrel he wanted to get rid of, reamed to 6.5x284 16" barrel, this is starting to be my favorite combo 140gn A-max at 2750fps 130gnABs at 2800fps. All my loads were from Greg Duleys writeup he did in NZHUNTER.
Shot it at 600yds a couple of weeks ago on steel managed 5 shot 4" group - rapped(haven't shot the .284 since load development as still waiting for shipment of the 162gnA-maxs). Shot my first deer with this combo last weekend.
I have a DPT suppressor fitted to both barrels, after about 200rnds the first baffle is starting to erode quite badly the others looking like new. A new baffle to replace is only $45 to me not a issue really when you have such a light compact and accurate rifle. My next step is to maybe flute the barrel and bolt.
What powder are you using in your 6.5-284 as I have a Tikka the same with 20" barrel I want to use 130 grn ABs
RL17 tried 6 other powders nothing close in the 16" barrel wouldn't shoot any of the solid copper bullets either.
Thanks any idea on Vol with 130grn
What the F--K is a .284 yip?????????????????????????¿
No dies yet. Waiting, waiting, waiting.........
.283 + .001 = .284 ( i think so anyway) :DQuote:

It should last 500 rounds, before replacement of the module..
As I'm sure has been pointed out before, the problem with modular suppressors is you can take them apart.
All suppressors with alloy internals suffer from erosion.
The shorter the barrel (bush pig), the bigger the case, the more the pressure, the greater the heat, the lighter the suppressor, the worse it is.
If you can't take it apart & see it happening you can't get stressed about it.
No manufacturer in his right mind would offer a lifetime guarantee when every tom, dick and harry fire a variety of projectiles, some at absolutely insane loads down a can. DPT offers replacement baffles at a reasonable price, doubt you'd need to replace anything other than the first one. Also, if you're going to be firing high volume, a light weight modular can is probably not the best option.Quote:

I have a t3 284 , had Abe ream out a t3 7mm08 fit a long action mag and bolt stop, shorten the barrel to 19" and fit a second hand, barely used Hardy 7mm gen 4 magnum can. Im shooting the 150 LR Accubonds at 2960 with a mild load of R17 hot load pressure was 3gr higher . Shoots well .4 most days.
Where are you sourcing your 150 LR Accubonds from? Hard to find....
Cheers

A life time warranty is for machining and component quality not for abuse of the product, which I believe I'm doing with a 16" barrel and max loads probably 65000psi loads. The product is top quality lightweight, works bloody well and it's priced very well. My .223 DPT is like new inside and fired thousands of rounds. Come on get real.
yep, wear and tear is not warranty.
Hi Jasec, I got tui_man2 to get them for me, he might have a few left, might pay to PM him.Quote:
