So after dropping the fallow back to the chiller to hang we decided to visit another face that I had shot my first boar on some months ago. 108387 We waited and watched for about 40 minutes,...

Give it a try as a 280, mine produces 2835fps with 162gr ELD-X. Minimal real world gain in going to AI except brass longevity. Enjoy!

I’m assuming (haven’t bothered checking) that the factory length barrel is 22 inches. That being the case I wouldn’t think you’ll gain very much by reaming it to 280AI. I have a 24” 280AI and only...

Built my brother a straight 280. He is not too fancy, shoots 162amax at 2900 and it is a rifle that has developed quite a reputation. Seems a very practical round with few limitations that is dead...

I do a bit of accurizing and load development for our local outfitting shop. I often get a call that such and such brand new rifle won't shoot or it has some other issue. I also get some outrageous...

There are three 6.5mm options so hopefully your mate runs a Creedmore so you can have the mighty 47. Or old school 303.

The 280ai is an epic calibre. Mate has a 28" bbl and he shoots 180gr ELDMs at over 3150~fps well under an inch.

280ai is a bit of an open country specialist. Best with 24plus inches and can be a bit much without brake or suppressor for some. (me) 20inch suppressed 284? I'm thinking about a long action...

7x64 is a pretty handy calibre, comes in some nice rifles too. If you want really different try looking for a 7x65R.

Don't underestimate the standard 280. It has become the ducks nut overseas with some serious shooters. Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk
