No i deer

I would of had the 400x BR4's if you knew anybody who travels to Bisley regularly..?

10th Dibs please 🤣

It would be nearly as cheap to buy this rifle than getting a rebarrel on your old rifle..

If I had a spare slot on my ticket I'd of been very tempted

Done it

https://www.accurateshooter.com/featured/7mm/#7SAUM

No harm in trying 😊

Very pointy looking bullets

Why N560..?

N165 is really good in the saum.

If I remember rightly I had the 162gr amaxs doing over 3000fps in my first saum barrel on H1000.

A 28 inch barrel I think..

I've still got it 

What would the coal measure..?

With what bullet Dave..?

162gr eldx or a 180gr ELDM..??

Your 7mm saum could blow either of them if fired in quick succession..

Slow fire with small strings may not see a blow up.

Depending on the conditions..

Wind dependant I probably fire the 4 shots on each exposure in 25 seconds.

The last exposure is 20 seconds.

24 shots altogether..

4 siters and 20 to count..

6 exposures of 4 fig11s..

One shot on each fig11

I fired around 900 through before my 284 blew one..

Trouble was I blew up 3 during a 600yds snaps match..

3 nice central shots out of 4 and a blank target..

I was baffled from the firing point why a marker was missing.

Norman Clark was marking my targets and got another club member marking in the next lane too look for the missing bullet holes..

They too found it strange that i was missing a shot..

I spoke to them when they got back from butt duty

5 shot groups at 100yds with 180gr ELDM's 

Nice group.

The lightest bullet I've used is 162grs

The ELDM's have a tenancy to blow up..

Possibly the jackets are too thin..

There's alot if info on accurate shooter about them blowing up..

The 6.5 cal bullets can aswell..

Lots of shooters have experienced it..

I know some personally..

Here's a video from somewhere in the US 

This time last year the 180gr ELDM's blew up  in my 284

I heard some folk were getting this on the early batches,ive yet to see so far 🙂

That's what I thought and it happened..

I didn't think they'd be going fast enough to blow up..

I blew up 3 in my 7mm saum but they were doing nearly 3000fps

I did used to shoot the 162gr amaxes before the 162gr eldx's and they shot great on 57grs of N165..

I did test some on RS60 but I can't really remember about the accuracy..!!

I may have an old target kicking around..

52.5grs of RS60 rings a bell and I think I also tried 53grs and they were doing well over 3000fps

Love a 284
Mines currently a shehane although I don't see much improvement on my over the standard forming load overall to be honest with regard to velocity.

had a fox at 680M with the other week so it defiantly gets the job done with 180g elds,(ive not used 162s in this barrel but i get around 2800 with 180s

My 284 shot the 180gr ELDM's superb out to 1000yds..

I was shooting 600yds snaps and 3 blew up during the coarse of fire..

It was a cold morning and they were doing 2770fps according to my bal cal..

Stopped using them after as it cost me too many points.

I've used 100s of 180gr berger hybrids since and no issues..

IMO the 284 is the best around cartridge..

It's my stalking and Tac rifle.

It's shoots great at 1000yds with 180gr hybrids 

I took it up to 55.7grs but the accuracy wasn't so good.

Figures entered into my bal cal at the time of testing just before we went into lockdown.

Here's the 162gr eldx's.3 shot group

Checked the load about a month ago.

I run my 284 on 162gr eldx's for hunting on 54.8grs of N160..

2900fps plus

My chamber was cut by Neil Mckillop for 160 to 180gr bullets i believe..

2560 shots down the barrel and still shooting superbly.

They're very accurate indeed and expand as you would like.

Why are you adjusting them..?

Have you changed presses..?

Replace them with forster lock rings as already said
