I remove the expander ball on all my dies and just use the bushing size to control neck tension. No point in oversizing the neck to then drag an expander ball back up through it to get the to the size you require. To me that just adds potential inaccuracies and issues of neck concentricity. 

Try Mik at Dolphin, I’m sure he will help you.

Do you want to order a pile of .224 barrel blanks?

I bought some from John a little while ago to try but not got round to it yet.

I didn't realise they come in 2 flavours, both leaded and un leaded.

I gathered from John the leaded (red box) was what the Americans called the Russian/PMC primer.

Cheers

Dave

Please keep this to track as stated.

Key pad warrior an interesting concept to which you seem to fit the role perfectly.

You have been asked now by 2 moderators to keep on track now please take heed!!!

Lol.. I'm not just saying what I have good results with... Same cal .284 and bullet just a bigger case! How's it side tracking

I would have thought it was obvious?

The 7mm Rem mag is not a .284W or a 7mm SAUM as the OP asked about?

Your best bet with the straight .284 is to use Reloader 17 or Elcho 17.

In the .284 somewhere between 52-53 grains will work a treat (obviously work up in your gun)

This load has worked in so many rifles, I won the Imperial meet in 2011 with that load and a friend won the Imperial last year using that powder. Both of us are GB F class team members and the powder has given us a lot of success.

Before someone chirps up about double based powders and all that rubbish. Reloader 17 is not a double based powder, it is a high energy powder infused with nitro glycerine. Double based powders the nitro glycerine is incorporated from the start of the process.

My barrel lasted for 2200 rounds I sold the gun at this point and it would still shoot a clean at 600 yards. I sold it to a club shooter on the premise it needed re barreling, as far as I know it's still going strong with the original barrel!!

Your initial choice of N165 may be a tad slow for the .284 but should work a treat in a SAUM.

I use N165 in my 7/270 WSM and you can achieve very low ES/SD's with this powder.

H1000 is a good powder and again in a 7/270 I get better velocity at lower pressure than N 165. So I'm surprised you had poor results as I get easily the same ES/SD?

It may be take a look at case prep as this is a great influence on ES neck tension and neck wall thickness play a huge roll.

Also a simple change in primer can change things dramatically.

Good luck

Dave

Inky, can't help with the cases.

Dave, did you ever build/rebarrel for the 218 Bee?

I've got a set of Redding 218 Mashburn Bee dies that my father used to shoot, and thought about having play...

Hi Steve, no the brass was for a good friend of mine who bought a beautiful little Marlin under lever rifle very cheap as the guy could not get any more brass. I had a contact in the states who managed to find 100 cases. It was like rocking horse poo out there!!!

It looks a fun cartridge a bit like a small hornet, he was landed I got him the brass.

Cheers

Dave

Sadly you will be very lucky. I scoured the UK and didn't find any sorry.

I managed to find a 100 in the USA when I was out there and brought them home.

Sadly I think Winchester has ceased production of them.

Good luck in your hunt.

try this one.

 

Failing that PM me and I will add you to the Facebook page.

Cheers Neil that works fine.

Dave

Ian would you mind if I copy this to the GB F Class Association Facebook page? (https://www.facebook.com/groups/598235463529577/)

 

Thanks Neil

I didn't realise the F class association has a Face Book page? Your link is broken and I can't see anything on the home page.

My .284 Shehane

Stolle Panda F class action, 32" Bartlein 9 twist barrel PR&T stock

My old straight .284 Barnard P action 32" Bartlein 9 twist barrel and Shehane tracker stock

My 6BR RPA Quadlite in an Interceptor stock with a 28" Kreiger 8 twist barrel

I use 4895 in my .308 with either 150 Nosler BT's or 155 Amax.

I use the same charge of 44.5gns in both super accurate. Not sure of velocity as weather crap to get the chrono out.

As ever this load is quite safe in my rifle but please work up.

Cheers

Dave

I see you got the photo's I sent then

Nice stock.

Cheers

Dave

Thanks Stag, its a real shame the initial thread got wiped.

So I'll make it a sticky again and hopefully in time we can rebuild something.

Cheers

Dave.

Martin, that is truely superb, thankyou for spending the time putting such an informative post together.

I think it is so useful I'm going to make it a sticky for everyones future reference.

Thanks

Dave

A big thumbs up for Brian Fox a superb guy to deal with, polite very helpful and very competitive on price.

He put himself out for me and sorted out importing my Kelbly after Litts went through. He also did it cheaper than the price I was quoted, so not only did he get me my rifle which I thought I would never see he saved me some cash as well.

Top bloke.

Dave
