Custom bullet options for my 284shehane 9tw br rifle?

Looking for bullet options for my 284shehane 1000yd br rifle. It has a 30" 9tw barrel. Just now starting to work up loads with Berger 180vlds. Was planning on some jlks before the unfortunate loss of Swampy. Rest in peace Swampy. Now looking for alternatives to work with. A guy I shoot with tried rfds in his 284 with pretty good results except some blow up, so those are not an option as I would even be pushing them faster. What are my options for customs or factory given a 9 twist? Thanks in advance, Barry.
 
Not a lot of options for custom 7mm's that I'm aware of at the moment....The Berger 180-184 Hybrids are cream of the crop in the Fclass world can't say for benchrest.
 
Just started working on getting 7MMs and 6.5s going. I’m waiting on some punches but everything else is in place. Hopefully it won’t be too long before we have some ready for testing.

Sounds great Bart, will the 7mm be in the 180 range and would the be similar to Hammer style or Gungnir style? Hopefully they will stabilize in a 9 twist. Barry.

Planning on making a 7MM around 180 gr. I had the dies made a couple of years ago. Just never got around to making them. Getting cores for the big bullets was a big part of the hang up, but I’ve got that fixed. We will test this one and tweak from there. I won’t stop until it’s a killer bullet!

If you need a tester I have a kickass 284 Shehane. I’d be glad to offer input for you.

Bart,

I switched to your Infinity this year for a dasher and it was the best move I’ve made so consistent. If you need any extra beta testers please let me know. I’ve got an Shehane that would love to see some 7mm Bart’s come it’s way!
