[QUOTE="bmcnabb02, post: 550562, member: 25927"] I recently acquired my first custom build in .280AI last week... [COLOR=black]Remington 700 action, HS Precision Sendero stock, Jewell trigger, Lothar Walther match grade barrel 1:9 24", Leupold base/rings, Leupold VX-3 4.5-14x40mm CDS.[/COLOR] [COLOR=black][/COLOR] [COLOR=black]I haven't had a chance to shoot it a whole bunch yet but the load my Smith worked up for me ended up being 3088 ft/second with 140 gr. Berger VLD's loaded w R22 shooting a .324" group (3 shot) @ 100 yds. The only shooting I've done myself was real quick one evening at 230 yds. laying prone on my crawfish pond levee on a makeshift rest with the mosquitoes trying to take the rifle away from me. 2 shots overlapped and a third "flyer" opened the group up to right at 1".
