[QUOTE="dok7mm, post: 1502596, member: 90080"] I only shoot the162 Amax in my 26" custom 280. H-4831 was a bit too fast burn rate, so I tried IMR-7828 with the heavier bullets. With bare bullets, accuracy load was 56.9/57.0 at 2,800 fps. With HBN coating, the 162 was hitting 2,875 fps over 57.8/58.0 grs. Accuracy is in .1-.2" to 200 yds. In good conditions, it will group 3 shots under 1" @ 400. To my way of thinking, the 162 Amax is the ideal bullet for antelope and deer in the straight 280. My only game with this rifle was a goat @ 605 yds and both lungs were destroyed, never took a step.[ATTACH=full]109314[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
