[QUOTE="Wilderness Blacktail, post: 2698118, member: 27906"] I built a 284 on a Tikka T3X this summer and went thru this exact conversation. The Saami reamer doesn't show any fb in the normal parallel manner that more modern cartridges exhibit so I get what was mentioned above about determining its freebore. We ended up deciding I should send in a dummy with jump to the lands and go with that. I seated a 175 Eldx to 3.2 and a 150Badlands BD2 to 3.16" if I recall with directions to ensure the longest had. 005 jump and the both chamber. I'm shooting the 150BD2 at 3.173" @2850fps, only 95 rounds on the barrel so far. With a g7 of .305 this thing is amazing! And I can spot hits in a lightweight rifle, which is golden. Barrel is a Preferred Barrel prefit, 22" 1:8" twist. Long action mag and bolt stop of course [/QUOTE]
