I’m in the market for a tier 1 pack. And looking at both stone glacier and EXO Mnt. I am looking for a size medium belt and good day pack sized bag. Let me know what you have and price. Thanks
Hmmm … 284 win … seems like quite a few on hear are recommending that caliber. I’ve haven’t seen many rifles chambered in that caliber so I’m assuming I’m have to build something. I do have a rem 700 adl currently wearing a 243 win barrel I could use for a donor action. I would assume that I...
Planning to reload which ever caliber I go with. Kinda strange that more companies don’t make brass for the 280 ai especially since it’s risen a bit on popularity as of late
hello … mind if I pick your brain about the two? Which one do you prefer? The mountain pro is nice but it’s probably a lot more expensive that the standard pro? How much lighter is it? Thanks
Great info! If I went 280ai I would be going with a browning x bolt as they have a 1:8 twist barrel or a I would be building on a savage action with a 1:8 twist barrel. So I will be good with the 140-175 grain bullets. I don’t plan on buying factory as I plan to reload. The browning x bolt...
Browning offers the a bolt pro with a 1:8 twist for the 280 ai. That’s the one I was thinking about purchasing. Will that twist stabilize the 175 to 195 7mm bullets? I’m assuming that will do just fine with the 160s but not so sure on the 175s. I think most factory 280 ai have barrels with...
I rarely try and push any thing that I reload to the max anyway but good to know that you had no issues.
1100 year is a hell of a poke that’s pretty impressive.
Did you try anything heavier than the 175s and if so what kind of performance did you get? Thanks
So it looks like at around the 675 mark the 280 is at its optimal hunting and killing range and will start falling off at distances farther than that. If at 1000 yards the difference is really exposed that is irrelevant to me for a hunting rifle and as amateur long range shooter.
So looks...
Well it’s still a good comparison. I really don’t think I’d have to go any heavier than the 168s for elk or even oryx. So out to 500 I’d be good. And sounds like out to 1000 they are the same as well.
But if I did choose to go with heavier 175-195 in the 280 how would the comparison look...
