7mm KMR reamer and dies

[Elwood]

7mm KMR reamer with two cuts, basically it’s a .284 ackly improved, 316 neck which means minimal neck turning. Set of Newlon custom dies, FL, Neck bushing and micrometer seating die, 200 fire formed cases, 4 times fired with at least another 4 firings of life. 1 Hornady modified case.

This cartridge is more than capable of pushing 180 grain projectiles up to 3000 fps, but mid 2900’s is more common.

£450

Great cartridge! Most competitive available on a 308 bolt face for shooting F Open. Very happy with mine!

That’s all dependent on the bullet you choose.

This cartridge is ideally suited to the available and very barrel friendly VV N165.

Is there an advantage of the KMR over Shehane Ian ?

Yes Andy, primarily the use of N165 to get Shehane speeds at 2930 fps, something I could never do with the Shehane. The extra case capacity also allows for a higher velocity than a Shehane if you’re chasing speed.

The gain over the Shehane is the same as the gain a Shehane has over a .284 W

Yes

I’m a firm ambassador of the 284 KMR. If you’re restricted to a 308 bolt face and wanting to shoot f open then the KMR is the way forward!

Yes I know,but here out of US is very difficult to get reamers or custom dies.

Not really, there are at least 2 manufacturers of reamers in the UK; BBT and Arc. Arc will also make custom dies. I ordered my sizing die from Hornady, took a while but worth the wait

Hi Tom,

BBT went tits up some time ago, the proprietor was by all accounts a strange individual.
