[QUOTE="wapiti13, post: 150459, member: 2212"] Cody, Any good gunsmith should be able to install the box. It will require elongating your space in the receiver and will probably eliminate the front screw in the trigger guard. Even if you don't modify, you will still get plenty of velocity out of 120 or 140 Barnes TSX if you keep your OAL down to around 2.800. I saw tests done on the WSM when it first came out that showed the deeper seating of bullets in the case didn't effect velocity that much. Let's face it, a 284 case is very similar to the WSM. Experiment and you might find that for the distances you are shooting, you will have plenty of velocity. Face it, a 7/08 is considered a great caliber, and your 284 even seated deep will out perform it by 100-150 fps!! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
