Thread: 22" tube .280 - realistic speeds?

Yeah the rifle belongs to seventenths from the other forum. He's only ever run 140gr pills through the rifle and has never chronographed any of his loads.

I've had good success with the 7/08 out to 500 yards but I have been thinking about a compact rifle with a little more horsepower around the 5-650 yard mark, with the potential to stretch out urther if needed. I hadn't considered a .280 but after emailing Dan Hardy - it seems I can use my 7/08 suppressor on the .280 without any issues - which got me interested. The .280 might even make the 7/08 redundant if I can get it shooting.

Decisions.
