Yeah a mountain ascent 280ai also. Yeah that’s what I thought re impact velocity. I Have subsequently worked up a 120 Barnes load that I have been using for 300 yards or less which works well.

If the first load doesn't shoot that RL26 must be bad. I can dispose of it for you.

I am running standard primers in both my 280AI and have excellent consistency with RL-26 and the Hornady 162gr ELD-M. What velocity are you getting in your Forbes?

The carbon stocks are usually around 650grams so weigh your factory stock and see what you will save. Probably a few hundred grams. They are stiffer than factory. Your can break either one...

Just buy a 7mm remmag standard 24" barrell cut 6" off throw an over barrel supressor on it and you will have a bushpig capable of shooting 7-800 yds if required. Better BC's in 7mm as others have said

I found the old Handloader Magazine that Grandpamac mentioned about the .300 WSM vs .300 H&H Holland. It's the February 2007, No 245 on pages 95, 96 and 97. The 300 H&H and 300 WSM have virtually...
