[QUOTE="Shawn Carlock, post: 1441938, member: 4"] The first 284 Terminator is alive! Built this one for a customer in Wyoming on an LRKM rifle. 30" barrel, custom "S" bushing hex dies saltbath nitrided, fully formed Norma brass completely ready to roll. Shoots the 180 Berger EH @ a smoking 3330 fps, 6 fps extreme spread and into .182" @ 100 yards. While this is a cool platform and has no recoil to speak of it was my intention to use this round a in a "Sheep Rifle" of 6.5-7 lbs. With those numbers it will be an absolute laser out to 1K with a bit more reach. Before anyone asks I have no idea what the barrel life is going to be like but given that it is only running 86.5 gr of 570 I am going to say it will be better life than a 7 RUM and it shoots faster as well. This was a fun project to get up and running. [ATTACH=full]98051[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
