    Think I've sussed the 284

    Gidday team.

    So after taking advice re the thread on 180gr eld M for 284.

    I've gone and got the 162gr eld M and seated them to 50 thou jump. So going from 3.2520 COAL to 3.200 COAL.

    A es of 18fps. I fired 6 rounds and that being that I dropped one after I loaded it and it went to 3.187 COAL so I used that as my excuse round.

    The picture shows 2 rounds making a ragged hole off to the left which could be me then the next 4 are the actual group. Got them at 2700fps. What I'll do now is go and make another 5 or so up and confirm this. By doing that it rules out the randomness etc which has been discussed at length on here. A big thanks for those who offered their help and knowledge team. I don't pretend to know anything and everything but I do try and give back where I can so thanks again.

    I also noticed that with the projectiles seated deeper they felt like they had less recoil too which was really nice.Name:  20241226_110249.jpg

    Keep it simple- hand me a model 7 7mm08 and I'll be right
