DRBOB7 mm Burgess
Gentlemen I recently received a gift of a rifle which is chanbered in 7MM Burgess.( 300 WM Case Necked to 7MM and blown out )Do any of you have any info regarding this round or anything that is similiar. I have a little info but I believe that this round should be capable of more that it shows. This was built by AC Burgess who is a very well known gunsmith in North Carolina. Thanks for the help DRBOB

ArgaliDRBOB,
Check out Kenny Jarret's info on his .284 Jarrett. It is a 7mm on a necked down .300WM case also. Kenny has been quite an influence on many gunsmiths in the Carolinas.

DRBOBArgali, thanks for your reply, but the only thing I could find out was the case capacity. Mr. Burgess is in his eighties and probably would have been an example for Kenny to follow. If anyone has any loading on the 284 Jarrett please advise Thanks again DRBOB

.366torqueMaybe start with 7mm Dakota loads. IIRC they are in Sierra's and Barnes manuals.
