Thread: Let's see those 284s

20 inch suppressed would be awesome. Should expect 2800 ish with a 162. Be tame as with the magnum can on there too.

If anyone is keen on doing there own 284 I have a Tikka T3 7mm08 17" barrel and a DPT can with 1" tally rings that I may move on wanting $1200 + freight as new condition shoots real well with Nosler B TIP comes with 100 once fired remington brass.

+1. 20 inch with suppressor is great option for compact light set up & decent legs down range.
160 TMKs 2850 fps with the right powder

Can negotiate a deal on said fork. Keeping the rifle though

Hmm interesting.

No offence but I Do not like Tikkas. Just not my cuppa tea but thank you for the offer

@tonyd have you tried any other projectiles at all?

No just the 150 gameking and 150 eldx as I has them left over from my 7mm08. I suspect i have a shallow throated chamber my gameking load is only 2.908 coal with about 10thou off the lands.

Does sound short. The 150's are a good match. You should see some good speed out of them. I've been thinking of trying the 150 eld-x.

And I've only tried ar2209 and rl17. But without a chrono it's a guess as to what speed they are doing. But hey if it shoots good enough with the short throat i will leave it. i can get it lengthened as it's wearing out later on if I still have this and not something else by then I still don't know what I really want haha.

I have had good results with H414, Superformance and imr 7828ssc also go well.

You could also try 150 NBT.

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

my eldx load is 3.050 and is roughly 15 off the lands but not 100% sure of that as its not that accurate measuring seating depth with a cleaning rod, try it 5 times and get 5 different measurements... im currently just waiting on someone to tap out a case to fit onto a guage tool then i can do some accurate seating testing.

Oh yep sweet...I just read the other was for the gameking load...bit drunk on the post last night

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?
