Thread: 7mm projectiles

Hi folks.

So my 284 will be going in for its new barrel next year.

I've been asked to provide a dummy round for the chamber to be reamed to.

This brings into question what projectile to run.

I've given up on Sierra making the TMK as they have clearly have no interest in making that pill anymore along with a heap of others.

So that brings into question a plan B,C, D and E.

New barrel will be 20", 4 projectiles come to mind:
1) 162gr Eld M.
2) 165gr Norma bondstrike.
3) 168gr ABLR.
4) 168gr VLD.

With the exception of the ABLR the other 3 projectiles are available on a relatively regular basis(well as far as 7mms go).

Further more this is my 200-700y rifle (deer mostly)so hence the selection of projectiles.

Would there be anything else to consider that I may have missed? Like perhaps a 150gr ABLR comes to mind.
