This was supposed to be a full video from start to finish but the lockdown has done a good job of halting activities. I figured I might aswell turn it into a two part video. Hopefully you find part 1 somewhat interesting.
Thanks

Good work. What does the shooter weigh now?
Impressive. Hope it doesnt mean the 284 will gather dust!
What's the difference in fps between the 284 and rem mag

Looking good so far, will be interesting to see how the validation goes. Certainly good velocity for that bullet and the shorter barrel and accurate.
@Gkp she weighs 3.8kg all up
@cameronjackwhite haha never! It may be hard to choose some days though!
@25 /08 IMP The 284 is currently shooting the 162 ELD-M at 2600fps using 2209. I had it at around 2700-2750 using rel 17. The rem mag seems to be about 2950, yet to be confirmed at range though.
162 @2600 from the 284 is perfect. Rem mag covers everything else
Hey what's the barrel lenght on your .284? Was it 17" from memory?
Yup 17”. I would go 18” with the new dpt mk2 magnum suppressor if doing it again.Quote:

Very professional and informative vid there mate , i just weighed my tikka 7 mrm and it went 3.894 but i have opilock mounts and Zeiss scope so bit heavier than your setup.Quote:

A suppresser like yours is something worth getting i think if or when i change to a warmer hand load in the furture . Cheers
@superdiver I don’t think the new mk2 suppressor would fit at 17” because it’s longer over the barrel so 18” sort of gives the same setup as what I have now with the Mk1 suppressor. And yea I guess a few more fps aswell is always handy haha.Quote:

Thanks mate. My 284 currently shoots the 162 ELD-M in front of 53gr 2209 for 2600fps. Rel 17 with the same charge weights gave me an extra 100 - 150fps more but I never shot it at distance. I could probably change over but the 2209 load has been working good as gold.Quote:

Great video Stagstalker especially for T3 7mag owners - hope you get to a part 2 at some stage!:)
I trimmed my T3 back to 22" with a Zeiss 3-15, carbon stock, DPT and mountain tac billet mag my scales say 3.6 kg.
I have been using N560 and was getting 3100 fps with 162 AMax and rather pleasing groups but a new batch of powder has seen me pull projectiles for a bunch of loads and drop back a grain. Hope to get to range Sunday and see how things go....
