I REALLY like my 280ai and am reevaluating my bullet choices. I'm currently going through a mental crisis when it comes to caliber, bullet design/ performance lately (thanks to Rokslide and S2H :cool:). I did buy a 6 Creed this fall and am using for antelope, deer this fall, as well as cow elk...
I'll Second this. My old girl can't stand my youngster's energy. We rehomed a Boykin a couple years ago. She's closer in age to the young male, gives him a run for his money, doesn't tolerate his BS. They are great for each other, especially entertainment and exercise wise.
280AI or 7mm-08. I have no use for magnums. I can reload the 280ai near factory 7 mag with less powder and recoil, and it's cool (the 7SAUM is kinda the ballistic twin to the 280ai, but in short action). If I were to do it again and wanted to keep the barrel short for my suppressor, I'd go...
We picked up our first Brittany about 10 years ago as a rescue and fell in love with the breed. My wife especially likes their size (we'd had labs prior). I actually like their size also. Since I've gotten back into upland game, I picked up my first Britt pup 3.5 years ago. He's a wildman...
They were factory loadings and shot ok. I wasn't too impressed with the performance at the time. But I'm going through a mental crisis when it comes to bullet design/ performance lately (thanks to Rokslide and S2H:ROFLMAO:). So maybe they performed as they were supposed to. Current load is a...
I'll be following this. I've been looking at Tricer a bit lately for options. Currently using a Slik (it's been well used) and have been thinking about getting an additional tripod (set up one for lighter weight backpack/ hike use, one for truck use).
I've been after this buck for about 4 weeks. Couldn't quite close the deal with bow (last time I got busted drawing). Today I found my 200yd pin. 😈 (Moved, I mistakenly posted this in last years thread)
Pronghorn today at just shy of 200yds. 6mm Creed, 108eldm. I didn't get a pic of the lungs (unfortunately) but the onside lung had an 1" wound, the offside was at least 2".
Caliber size entrance.
Offside. Probably 1" hole, with a couple other small exits from fragments.
My 280ai shoots the Federal 155 Terminal Ascent ammo pretty well. It did not like the 162 ELDX. If I try that bullet again it will be a reload, not factory.
