Just got my New 280AI from JD at HSSS which is a local guy out of Yakima, Wa info is below for anyone looking for work with a quick turnaround. The Rifle turned out great! Still have to have him Paint the scope, rings, and atlas bipod.

I went with the 280AI since I would get 6rds in a 5rd 300wm and I should also get some pretty good barrel life. I should get some high velocities as well. I am planning on running 162amaxs, I also have some Nosler brass sitting here ready to go.

A range report will be done as soon as I have time, I just started a new job which has been 6days a week and barely enough time for diner let alone play time.

Sorry for the shitty pictures...never have been good with a camera.

Re: New HSSS 280AI w/manners T4

Just a bit of a Update for any of you that are interested. I had JD at HSSS paint the scope/rings and bipod for me. I also got some loads developed and I am planing on heading to the range tomorrow for some testing. After doing some searching around and also getting some info from quick load I am expecting to see some good things around the 60gr area. I will be dragging my chrono along with me as well and will get some numbers on the loads that I try.

I will be useing the following-

Nosler 280AI Brass
162 amaxs with amp
FGMM Magnum 215M primers
IMR 7828SCC
