[QUOTE="Idaho Lefty, post: 2189933, member: 104437"] The .284 is, a great choice and the Tikka action is, "perfect", 168 Berger HVLD's, should get you out to, 800-900 Yards for, some serious, Elk "Medicine" as should still be going, 2,000 FPS with THIS, Bullet at, 850 - 900 yards, needed, to expand. The .284 should be about, 50 - 100 FPS faster than, a 7mm-08 in, real world, Velocities ! Watch your barrel weight if, walking very far, ie "Hunting" ! A 24" Brux 1-9 with, a .625 / .630 Muzzle Dia., is perfect and with, the "Right", Scope & Stock , you should end up with a 7.5 pound, HUNTING, Rifle ! My son is getting, 2,750 FPS with StaBall 65, in his 7-08, a 22.4" bbl'd Tikka with, the 168's. Depending on, your choice of, Powders,.. 2,850+ FPS is doable, IMO IF, you don't have, a Gunsmith you might check out, Bryant Customs in Texas ! Mike HAS, reasonable prices and builds, Benchrest Qualiy Rifles without, a Long, wait time. Good Luck ! [/QUOTE]
