Stay away from both, they both come with their own issues!!!

Try using a neck sizer on it and see if it helps.

You shot a deer with a target Bullet , that’s what you can expect to happen, find another bullet that is for hunting.

It looks like it could be CWD also. He doesn’t look right, contact fish and game and see what they think. He will have to be put down. Nature can be really cruel sometimes.

It’s a conflicted point that you make, with all do respect you can’t seat them deep and give a good jump to the lands, at the same time. If it is seated to deep you will encounter problems with pressure, get a Hornady OAL guage and that will help you with the best length for your gun.

The case capacity is different, obviously. I love my 280 Ai, personal choice reigns supreme.

Shoot magnum primers, they are more consistent match grade if you can find them.

Just keep in mind that the outside temperature and the heat generated from firing, that bad things can happen if you get careless, give your barrel ten minutes to cool between shots if your not in direct sunlight. Shoot early morning, then put it away for the day or until it cools down in the...

Try Staball powder instead if you can find it, it’s amazing in the creedmoors.

Look into the 280 Ackley improved. Good, efficient cartridge that has really good range and doesn’t turn things inside out.

The RUM is a magnum bolt face, just change that and your good to go.
