What is the problem with gunsmiths working on T3's? I thought lots of people had 7-08s drilled out to 0.284 were their issues?

Hard steel causing tooling issues. I think the odd rechamber was getting some chatter and wrecking the chamber/barrel. Gunsmiths take the risk here as the professional so I'm guessing a lot decided it wasn't worth the risk/damage to the tooling

7mm saum sako 75, 22" shilen, dpt, stug stock.
2950ish with 2217 and 162 eldx.
Goes great

Hey guys gun should be getting put together this week. Have a 25-06 tikka and a 20" 284 barrel. Does the gunsmith just screw the barrel onto the existing rifle and it is done? Length wise I am thinking I will go 18" due to mostly bashing around in the bush with the odd trip where I can stretch the legs out anywhere from a couple hundred to as far as I can try to shoot.

Anyone using the 168 vld's, how do you find them at different ranges?

19" 284 tikka with dpt mag suppressor, 20moa rail and sightron stac 3-16x42. Reloading starts this week

Looks like a sweet set up, onya ! Look forward to the reports after your load dev

Looks sick!

Well this is not ideal. Run the brass through a fl resizing die(brass happily Chambers) but as soon as I load up a round it will not chamber at all. Anyone have any ideas???? Losing my mind at the moment

Tight neck chamber maybe? Or projectiles jamming in the lands?

Nope and nope. Finally figure it out and it is throated VERY short...

Back to not being very sure now. Will keep the viewers posted....

Try something like a vld 140? A couple of guys run them in their 284s on here. They didn't work in mine I had the opposite throating situation

Come to the conclusion the brass is too long after comparing with saami specs so I have just ordered a case trimmer from gunworks. If that does not work I may have to get the chamber opened up which is a pain. Have tried 120vmax and 162eldms with no rifling marks on either projectile. End of the day could just be a very tight chamber. Am using factory Winchester brass btw
