the elds would be well into the case at that COAL...getting good loads without pressure signs?Quote:

Hey Guys just thought id share this for those of you that have or are looking at building a .284 Win on a rem short action, this is a PTG 3B box and follower and extends the inside OAL to 3.110 inch.
Pics below are with a 150 LRAB at 3.0300" and a 162 ELD-X at 3.0920"

Could that box fit a REM model 7?
Unfortunately not mate only rem 700 short or cloneQuote:

Just looking into options down the line. I have a t3 in 260 with an 18" bbl, long mag and long bolt stop. From what I understand the bolt face is the same so is it as easy as a gunsmith just reaming it out? 284 is like catnip to me haha
Different bore size man. Would be a rebarrel job. Not many gunsmiths doing the work on tikka barrels anymore either.Quote:

So what buy an aftermarket barrel? Thought I read something about rem my barrels being able to be fitted into tikka actions? I plan to have one gruntier rifle to do all so a 284 superpig ticks all my boxes. 1000m+ targets and good killing power to 800m~ ideally
Cleland gunsmith could rechamber your .260 to a 6.5x284 other wise it's a new barrel to get a straight. 284.Quote:

Yeah man. I believe the duleys use rem take off barrels. If I was going to all that trouble id spend the extra couple hundy on a reputable custom barrel.Quote:

By all means if you want one go for it, but if your anything like me then the current rifle you have will do the job fine.

I would keep the 260 and build a 284 with a std length barrel in a c.f. stock for jollies
Exactly what I'm doing now. Just with stug for stock work and shes all finishedQuote:

It's a reamed tikka 7mm 08. Cleland gunsmiths did the job several weeks ago. Load development once it's back from stug now that my brass and dies have arrived.
I’ve got a Tikka barrel that’s been reamed to 284 that shoots real well. PM me if Keen
