Unveiling the 284 Terminator and before anyone says anything I am not saying we were the first ones to neck a 300 Norma down, and improve it. We have put our specs on taper and shoulder angle to be like the other Terminator rounds. Of course it has our patented +P throat design incorporated into it. I wanted a whole line of Terminator cartridges and will be adding the 224 and 243 Terminator rounds late this summer. The 284 Terminator according to QL will run the 180 Berger bullet @ 3250-3300 fps out of a 26" tube depending on powder choice of course. We will test VV N570 for top speed and Retumbo / H 1000 for stable all weather field performance. Load densities are in the 98%+ range, I am really looking forward to building and testing these. I will build a test rifle on a Terminator action (of course) in a light weight Sheep Hunter Package as that is where I see this round making the most impact. We have an order for a 30" barreled LRKM chambered in this already so I will have long barreled data for it as well. I am guessing the 30" version will run the 180's at over 3400 fps. I won't even speculate on barrel life until we wear one out, I am hoping for 800 rounds, time will tell. Stay tuned and I'll have updates with actual data and some video in the fairly near future.
