Semi custom vs factory

I loaded some H4831SC behind some 162 grain ELDM's in a 7PRC I'm currently breaking in and three shots each of 64, 65, and 65.5 were well under 1 MOA at 100. The best was right at .5". I think it likes the 4831, and I'm interested to see how far I can go. 65.5 was absolutely no sign of pressure, easy bolt lift, no ejector marks, and the primers looked great. Hornady says out of a 24" barrel that should be 3050 plus fps, I'm shooting a 22" barrel. When I find the top, I'll go get my chronograph from my buddy who's using it at the present moment.

Gotta love the Hornady imbelishment. I would be impressed.

I

I put a long throat 284 win Preferred Barrel 22" SS , 8twist T3 contour on a T3X. Swapped the bolt stop and the mag to factory LA Sweet rifle! I put a Stockys carbon fiber stock on it and curved bolt handle and carbon round knob.

SWEET rifle. Highly reccomend something like it for a mtn rifle.

I have 100 Lapua .284 cases that I've been sitting on for a couple years with that very thing in mind! Still working with my .280AI. Which is my first go around with rebarreling and hand loading. I'm getting close to doing it though. I've got my eye on the .750 taperless contour.

Doesn't it suck when you shoot a great group on some funky portion of a target when you are just working thru your zeroing process for a new scope

LOL! Just me, but I don't think a great group sucks at ANY time!

284 win is a great round. Many people don't realize the popularity of the 284 win with competition shooters.

You can see that the .284 Winchester (and variants) currently dominate F-Open.
