284 first results...success - 07/24/14 07:18 PM
I had my new 284 built and then I have been sitting around waiting on bullets. I found some 168 gr bergers and decided to give them a try until my 180 gr ones come in. I spent the night at the ranch last night and woke up at 6 this morning to try and shoot before it got hot. I started loading up rl 17 and then switched to 4350. The gun really liked it and I am going to settle on 53.2 gr. for this bullet. By the time I got the loads done there was beginning to get quite a mirage out at 500 plus so I shot some groups at 300. I shot 3 three shot groups and they were all within 1/4 of an inch. I would say Garland did a good job on the build it is a dream to shoot. I forgot my phone but will take photos next time.
