GONZOS: excellent info.. thank you.
How is your accuracy with your 0.220 Freebore ... compared to the 180’s?? And what velocity are you running on the 184’s?

6_5_284: have you got the 184’s through the new barrel yet? Any interesting results?
Forget IMR 7828ssc, no one in their right mind would take that powder to a big match. Unless you know how to adjust your load based on weather conditions. It will shoot great one day, and then like crap on the following. As for H1000, it may shoot well, but most use a bit faster powder.
NO, I HAVE NOT. SEEMS LIKE I HAVE TOO MANY "IRONS IN THE FIRE" LATELY. WILL TRY TO DO SOME TESTING WITHIN THE NEXT MONTH IF MY "HONEY DO LIST" GETS CAUGHT UP.

The same situation that I get with the RS70.
One day with 57.2 I get 880 ms with 23º and two weeks later with 30º I get 905 ms ...
That same situation of temperatures and load, has been given to me. With a speed in 30º of 915 m / s. That gunpowder is crazy. Ruin my competition by leaving the ammunition in the sun, in the last entry.
And I have annoyed 30 brass
Hello,
After reading this post and following for a few months I decided to build a 7mm .284 WIN rifle. As right now I sent 2 dummy rounds (3.305 COAL/2.256 OAL) for a reamer to be manufactured by Manson. All the other parts will come from different sources: Brux Barrel 1-9", Action (Brand not decided yet), scope, trigger, etc. Hopefully I can put it together and report back the findings with some of the loads suggested here. Thanks to the ones who did the hard work for me!
I will custom machine my stock like I did with my Remington 700.

What freebore is MANSON coming back with and suggesting?
Just sent them the samples (2) and they came with .210" and .319" diameter in the neck diameter. (I asked for .316"). My samples messured 3.305" COAL/2.555" to the ogive. I have to give them a call and see why the neck diameter was increased .003". As far as the freebore I have no clue of why they went with .210". Maybe that's based from the dummies but in the case I need to let them know that will be the shortest I will run my rounds. That measurement puts me about a 1/16" above the doughnuts. I might asked them to increase that freebore another .025" - .040" (.235-.250 freebore) to have room to play with the seating and other bullets (195gr). I call Monday and we'll see what they say.
If your going a no turn neck the .316” may not be enough, I had mine done originally at .316 and I couldn’t run a bullet into the brass after firing in unsized brass, so opened it up. When I ordered my own reamer from PTG I they sent a .319” which is working well so far, they also sent me a fb of .208” for the Hybrids, so far I’ve got about .020” jump and still above the donut..
After calling Mr. Manson and discussing the idea of been able to shoot up to .195gr Bergers he suggested a freebore inbetween of .250-.265" that way I can go back and forth with both bullet weights.
TITO: Thanks. Makes sense.
I’m currently running a .235” freebore with the 184 hybrids. Seating comfortably in front of the “donut” area .... with a modest jump to the lands.
Thanks for the info!
