Thread: New build 30/284 Remington

Nick-d ,I am hoping to get somewhere over 3000 fps ,just how far over that will only be found out once we do the load work and find out what it does and what it likes. Being an ex target rifle its been shooting 155's but i am hoping i can go a bit heaver to 165's . I think these will be heavy enough for anything i am likely to use it on. The barrel is a 1/13 twist . Stocky , All the bits we used where from the the original components of the standard of the rifle which was a 7mm-08 , Phil milled out the receiver as you would to fit an extension then just tweaked the stock parts to work. We where planning this part of the build for a while as the rifle in its original state 7mm-08 could not fit 162 eldm's in the factory mag ,with them being seated to where they shot best .
