[QUOTE="dkee, post: 1451786, member: 78622"] I had my gunsmith build a .284 Jarrett (7mm) for the new 195 EOL Berger bullet. The necked down 300 WM case takes 72.4 gr of Retumbo and approaches 3000 ft/sec. The G1 .755 BC of the Berger is 40% better than the .533 185 gr SMK that I used to shoot in my former Surgeon Scalpel 300 WM. And unlike the Surgeon 300 WM (even with suppressor), the 284 Jarrett doesn't beat you up with recoil making it much easier to stay on the scope. It's closer to my Rem .260 in that regard. Granted, with a J Allen stock and PMII 5x25 scope, the 284 Jarrett weighs about 22 lbs. But for a rifle that easily shoots out to 1800 yards with sub-MOA groups while remaining shooter-friendly, I find it hard to beat. [/QUOTE]
