Looking good kiwijames - pretty sure I got the idea to shoot the BT's in my T3 from you and from memory, it was almost an identical load.
Keen to see it with the stug stock on it. I love mine,...

GWH 42.7gr 2208 mate and 20" tube - seems to shoot pretty well. Only shot two animals with this load to date.
Timmay - I plan to re-chamber my spare T3 7/08 barrel to .284 when I feel the need.
Interesting..... I"m shooting them in my 7/08 @2650fps 2.905" (long action setup).
I have a spare near new (less than 70 shots) T3 7/08 barrel in the cupboard for in the future ;)
I think it's just a factory stock that has been coated in something.....?
Is there a waiting list ;)
7/08 but it's LA now. Shooting the BT and Amax really well seated out nice and long.
Wearing it's new stock thanks to stug - has definitely lightened things up!

I don't like you anymore.
All jokes aside - very nice!
Looks mint mate but get a lighter can ;)
That looks mint! Plenty of oomph out to 800+ by the looks!
Your new load will probably shoot crap..... so give me all your 140gr BT's then eh ;)

Whats the deal with dies/brass? What length tube is that - 30" or similar?
Could a standard 7/08 tube be reamed to 284 Shehane? Any real world benefit over a 284win in a 22" tube?Thinking T3...
I can understand why you are selling the other rifle now - I'd much rather have this setup ;)
Looks like there might be a few showers with light winds ;)
Philipo.... You bet your ass I'll be there!!
I'm heading out tomorrow afternoon to check my shooters zero (can only shoot to 100 yards). More than welcome to tag along if keen, flick me a text.
After lambing we will have to test that puppy out Philipo.
Can shoot out to 1000 yards at that farm now.
Serious bit of kit there mate!
Presuming .308?
tui_man2 - That 7mm Wizard looks the business!!!!
Doesn't seem to like 130gr Remington Corelokts too much. Groups were areound 1 1/2" at 100 yards. A little bit different to shooting the T3 that's for sure.
Handloads are on the way though!
Went halves with the old man for the bare rifle. I then added a few little goodies I had sitting around and ended up with this.

Yeah - I've message Abe now. Looking forward to getting my new setup back and up and running. 18 months away from home without hunting has taken it's toll. Less than two weeks now before I'm back...
Amazing setup!
Seeing the magnum suppressor on a 22" barrel has changed my mind about a brake - can it is! Abe will be getting sick of me changing my mind!
+1
Can't wait to get something built by him once I'm back home.
Nice setup geezejonesy - especially the scope!!
Not sure about the metal work - but that stock looks the business.
What products/method did you use - PM if you prefer.
