Thread: Reloader 16 vs Reloader 17

@Hunty1 I've been pondering on a bit more barrel and velocity for a while and then along came a 20 inch barrel for the right price so i couldn't pass it up and it's shooting great but i do need to chrono the velocity.

The 16 inch barrel has been awesome, shot my biggest red stag at 300 mtrs and a bull thar at 400 so it's got the grunt... just wanted to try something different with the .284
@nevereadyfreddy sorry buddy but I'm not using RE17 in my Kimber 7mm-08 but I am running 120 gr Sierras with ADI powders and that does the business well.

Ok ,so at a guess I should be getting around 2900 with the 140s.
Have taken it quite a bit higher but accuracy fell away so settled on 170gr.
I got the re17 for my saum running 160 nabs but it goes better with re19.
