Anyone tried the 165gr Sierra Gamechangers? I’ve used them in my 30-06 - very accurate and excellent performance on game out to 450m. Not sure I’d use them much past that though.

This one https://www.tikka.fi/rifles/tikka-t3x/t3x-laminated-stainless

Could also consider the Tract Toric UHD 4-20x50. It’s a bit heavy at 34oz but all your other requirements are met...

All my scopes are MOA but MILs would work just as well. We measure in metres here but rangefinders and ballistic apps can handle all combinations of yards/metres and MOA/MILS.

This load works very well in my M70 as well with 165gr Gamechangers and 168gr Tipped Matchkings.

The TMK looks interesting. I’m thinking of a dual load 165Gr TGK for close-up heavy bodied game (Wildebeest, Kudu etc) and the 168gr TMK for longer distances (Springbuck, Gemsbuck). Can’t wait for hunting season to start...

Or a Norma Oryx 156gr. BC’s low but otherwise a very underrated bullet.

Can’t really see the point when the 280 ai comes with factory brass and a wider bullet selection?

Metric system here so MIL MIL for me.

My 30-06 liked Federal Fusion (165 and 180 grains) and Hornady Precision Hunter with the 178 grain Eld-X

Me too. It’d be nice to know what’s been updated

Thanks for the review - can’t wait for them to get to SA to test the 140 grainer in my new 270.

Kudu in the Eastern Cape mountains. Really want to hunt a Red stag in New Zealand...
