Bergers with non mag and hammers with mag for my 280ai

I ended up developing a hammer hunter 143 load and took that to Idaho. Groups on the VLD and the HH were great for my liking though. Long story short… lots of cows but no bulls presented a shot. I had a giant black bear dragging his belly on the turf last day at 195 but too many factors led to...

I’ve put a fare share of 28 down the pipes of a CZ bobwhite g2. No experience with the drake but I am a big fan of the bobwhite. I’ve used it 3 years Nebraska kansas Texas dove quail pheasant ducks prairie chicks and sharpies no issues yet

That was pretty incredible! Congrats. This may have actually pushed me to use the 143HH in my 280AI here in a few weeks

I finished my load tinkering for this Elk and deer rifle season today. Now I just need to decide which one I wanna use…168 Berger (.5moa) or 143 HH (.75moa). Decisions decisions I know I can get this 143HH group to shrink but .75 moa out of a rifle that out the door weighs 7.2# is good enough...

Excellent shooting. Nice to see a plan executed!

Thanks all who offered up advice. Short of it, we are not relocating. Wasn’t meant to be for the job

Prayers sent up and out

Noted. I have h4831sc as well

I received some feedback on my Berger load thread that lead me to trying the hammer hunters for a mono option on my new rifle. This thread is documenting my load work up with 143 hammer hunters on the Christensen Arms Ridgeline FFT…. Ordered bullets Saturday and had them in my hands yesterday...

Very nice! After doing some research and talking with a few folks here, I bought some hammers last night.

$95 shipped 2 boxes same lot(both are opened to look over bullets; all 100 are in there) Just going a different route Edit: price more competitive
