[QUOTE="stewh, post: 187, member: 91"] Hi Guys, I'm new to this board & must say I'm impressed. I have a custom 280 Rem. based on a fully blueprinted 700 action with a 26" 1 in 9 twist varmint profile SS Shilen barrel, MacMillan stock & Jewell varmint trigger. As well as Deer hunting I also use the rifle for F class target shooting to 600 yds using 130 gr MKs (low recoil). The rifle shoots sub .500" 5 round groups off a bipod at 100 yds. What do you guys think would be the best bullet type & weight for this barrel & what would be the max. realistic range for 1: target shooting; 2: varminting (rabbits & crows); 3 Deer hunting. Is the 280 an inherently accurate calibre or am I barking up the wrong tree? All the best Stewart [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
