Hey Ya'll
Been testing / developing My new 280AI over the last couple weeks - WOW is all I can say!!
It was a bit finiky to start off but has proven to be a great rig.
specs:
Surgeon RLR Action
Krieger 9twist 5R MTU @ 26"
McMillan A5 fixed LOP w/ Kydex CheekPiece
PT&G hinged floor plate
Remington magazine box, spring & follower
Jewel HVR set @ 20oz.
EGW HD 30mm Low rings
Vortex Viper PST w/ mrad reticle
Chambered 280AI ( sammi ) Nosler - has a VERY SHORT freebore
Devcon bedded w/ a .5" pad ahead of the lug
Duracoated tigerstripe / coltgrey-med.green
Loads:
280AI nosler brass
H4831sc ( ALOT )
Fed 215 primer
Hornady 162 Amax jammed .005" average
runs 3020fps. w/ 12ES groups ugly from 0 to 150yds. but amazing beyond 150!!! Been eaten up an 8" plate @ 930yds. for several days now!!!
280AI nosler brass
H1000
Fed 215 primer
Berger 180 hybrid jumping .013"
runs 2820fps. w/ 19ES same as Amax - groups and performs great out past 200 or so!! Does not have quite as tight verticle as the 162amax load but seems to buck the wind a little better.. poped a couple of 6" balloons @ 600 & 800 this morning in a 6-9mph full value right wind.....
280Remington brass
Varget
Fed 210 primer
Hornady 120 Vmax jammed .020"
runs ( no ides ) groups .4moa @ 100 & 200 - not bad for a fireform load!!!
