    But personally I like fairly flimsy unsealed lockers for ammo as I can't help but think a good safe full of ammo could be called a bomb.

    Of course, what I call a flimsy unsealed locker is called a safe by some people

    I have a couple of dedicated ammo safes but they aren't enough.

    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Most of my ammo is stored in pieces. If Mr Burglar wants it he'll have to sit down for a session on the press.

    That's a work of art, given that rimfire's are the field guns that a lot of people use the most I don't understand why more people don't do things like this

    As some of you may know im quite a fan of the little Rem Model 7's, i do however have one Tikka, a M595 in 284 win which i love. I however have never owned a Tikka T3......until now.

    A few months back i purchased @buzzman's near new T3 in 7mm08 that he'd already fitted the long action mag and bolt stop and had the barrel lopped back to 17", it was the perfect candidate for converting to a 284 SuperPig.

    After receiving it i was keen to see if the barrel was a 'shooter' as it was as a 7mm08, so loaded up a handful of 140 NBT's at 1gr under max and seated the pills to where they 'looked' right and headed off to the range......

    I then started playing around with a 284 case and a 162 Amax, these things were made for each other....

    And the decision was made to send it away to Gunworks to get it re-chambered in 284 win. I got Robbie to use his reamer with a .316 neck and had it throated to suit the 162 seated out.

    I just received the barreled action back today, and have it all back in one piece and bore sighted waiting to try some test rounds.

    Even if i can only get the 162 Amax doing a max of 2750 (using standard powders, ive got some 7828ssc to try), it appears to still hold 1,000 ft lbs of energy to 850 yards, gotta love high BC bullets.

    Hopefully it still shoots like it did.
