[QUOTE="Ksmirk, post: 452960, member: 6555"] tangodown, thanks for the kind words but don't underestimate one of the best actions ever built! 700 is a chip shot with my 243 built on a Spanish Mauser it has hit at 1300 granted not a good round for that distance this was on steel plates. The 308 that was built on this action I could hang with the guys at 1K without a problem granted I did get several laughs before we started. I knew a very old smith that helped me along and granted Mausers are sloppy as all get out when you do your part, lap the lugs, true up the boltface and make everything straight they will shoot and shoot well they are just missing that COOL factor. My loads while fine in my rifle I hear that Quickload says I'm hot but groups are good and the primer pockets are not opening up after 5 firings, I'm getting 3011fps over the CED with 162 A-Max bullets and Hybrid100V powder NOW the barrel was throated for a COL of 3.100" to be .010" off the lands so I'm not running your normal 2.800" 284 Win I have a little more room for powder. How it works I don't know but all I know is that it's working well so I'm not going to jack with it. I plugged the numbers into JBM and it would look like this for veloctiy, 700=2026 800=1903 900=1785 1K =1672 Still scootin' along pretty good! I'll be the last one to try and talk you out of an Edge but truth I'm loving my little 284 Win! Later, Kirk [/QUOTE]
