[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 460097, member: 5219"] In your first post you asked for data on any 7mm that would shoot a 160 gr bullet at approx 3000. The 284 win was on that list. My 284 sporter: 23" barrel SA Ruger M77 tang safety, mag box extended to 3.1" moly coated 160 gr accubond OAL 3.050" 57 gr of RL-17 velocity 3070 @ 70 degrees It isn't the flattest trajectory but with a turret it doesn't matter. Recoil with this 7 1/2 lb rifle is 22 ft/lb. I have done extensive long range shooting out to 550 yds at our range and it is quite accurate. It is fun to shoot and I know the barrel is going to last a long time. --------------------------------------------------- After telling you all of this I must admit I shoot a turreted 257 weatherby with the 115 Berger out of a 28" barrel for my long range coues wt hunting. We frequently kill from 350 to 550 yds. [/QUOTE]
