[QUOTE="mcseal2, post: 409782, member: 22030"] After more testing I have decided to sell this rifle and bought another to (hopefully) use on the upcoming hunt. I never found a load faster than 2750 with the 150gr bullets, or 2850 with the 140's that I was happy with. Any faster and accuracy or deviation between shots suffered. Nothing against the 280, I think a 24" barrel would make a huge difference. The 7mm Rem mag I had was loaded down to advertised 280 velocities and served well until I shot the barrel out. I just got another A-bolt in 270WSM off gunbroker that I will have by the middle of next week to start testing loads for. If that fails I have a proven 270 win or 264 win mag that I can take, they are just a little heavy for mountain hunting. Thanks for all the replys [/QUOTE]
