I certainly don’t mind folk commenting on different 7mm’s it’s good info. I really like my 7mm rem mag but it’s a sitting in a spot rifle and gets heavy for humfing round, that’s why I’m building a light weight .284 because I like the 7mm bullet but just fancied something a bit different than I already have.

I’m hoping for 3000fps in a7 SAUM 🤣

Yea I think you might just scrape that with the right powder 😂😂

I’m hoping for similar results with the 162’s👍

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

Just going to fast I take it?

My tube is currently 22" to the action face(It had a trim from 30) didn't loose anything like the speed anticipated(i gained most of it back with a powder change)

Good to know that, I chose a 24” tube

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

Christ good speed again eh? If I hit 3000 fps odd I would be delighted but it’s not vital

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..

The hybrids are bad to get hold of I think?? That’s why when I had the chance of the 800 eldx I just bought them.

They shoot to the same poi as the 180 elds nigh on so pretty handy

That’s perfect that. That was one of the many issues I had with the creed,it only had a short barrel so couldn’t get the speed with copper.

My rifle is running 3250fps with yew tree 130G coppers & absolutely drills them.(ive seen as high as 3400fps)

Good speed that! That would be perfect when or if i turn it onto copper also

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

That’s good to know,I did wonder about the  shehane but couldn’t be bother with faffing around fire forming again,the .260 ack was plenty enough for me😂nice set up that mind 

I have a 7rem mag shooting copper which I like but it’s heavy so I tend to use it for sika because it’s more sitting than stalking, hence why I’m building a lightweight .284  for humfing around chasing foxes and I can load copper if I take the urge and still get good speed, ( I wanted something that was light but can stretch out the yardage and preform better than the creed or similar with a heavier bullet which is bound to help in all terms)😂 my .260 ack it heavy to but it’s my fox sitting out rifle and my .270 is my roe/red rifle again shooting copper.

I will see how I go, what ever happens it will be more suited to me than the creedmoor😂tried it and it just didn’t float my boat at all!  

Thanks for that👍

That’s in the ball park fps wise definitely. Anywhere around that I will be chuffed. Shoots well that rifle by the looks to👍

Perfect thanks for the help👍 I’m glad because I’ve plenty powder and I managed to buy 800 eldx as it’s all I could find. What kind of speed do you think I will achieve? (Obviously speed isn’t everything but I’m just curious)

Hi, I’m on the good old knowledge cadge!! I was wondering a couple of things, firstly is anyone using the 162 eldx in a .284 win and do they work as intended? Secondly what loads does anyone have ? I’ve a fair whack of rs60/62 here which I was hoping to use. It’s getting built on a long action and throated out as far as it can be, it’s going out of a 1-8.5” twist 24” sassen barrel. Thanks for any info 👍
