    7mm Rem Mag or 284 Win.

    Hello chaps

    Some input from those in the know would be appreciated. I am in the market for a rifle for Reds out to 500 or so yards using 162 to 168s. I will most likely go to a T3X. I was going to do the 284 Win conversion thing (I have had a 284 before and am familier with the round). But then I thought for the sake of a bit more powder why not just get a 7mm rem mag and be done with it.
    I will take the barrel down to 20 or 21 inches max and suppress.
    Anyone with a short 7mm Rem Mag out there? Loads, velocity, any input really.

    Thanks very much.

    If 500 yards is your true limit then 284 is more than enough. But you can buy a factory rem mag so save a few hundred on the conversion.

    buy what floats your boat mate, if you reload and don't mind getting brass etc 284
    I have a chopped R.E.M. Mag and like having the ability to stretch the legs.
    Went to buy some camouflage trousers the other day but I couldn't find any.

    I'm running a 7mm Rem Mag with a 21.5" barrel. Spits out Berger 168VLDs at 3050fps

    Dont waste your time chasing every last fps, it doesnt matter in the real world, it wont make a difference, all it will do is cause head aches and frustrations. And dont listen to silly old cunts

    I have a basically brand new T3x in 7mm Rem Mag here, still in box with owners manual etc. I purchased it to build a custom rifle on, but im now going in a different direction, so the T3x is surplus to requirements.

    It can come with a DPT 20 moa rail and 30mm Weaver rings to suit the rail. Send me a PM if interested.

    A 20" 7RM can still push a 162gr at 3k, just as Kooza's and Dorkus's do
