[QUOTE="jakefth, post: 391933, member: 25037"] i built a 6.5-280ack last summer on a sako l61r action. mcmillan edge stock. lothar walther barrel(#4contour). it shoots in the .5s with 120gr barnes ttsx and about the same w 120gr nosler bts. i chrono'd the barnes at just over 3400fps(25.4" barrel). im very happy w it but i am ordering a slightly lighter contour, fluted broughton. the l.w. is ok in the accuracy dept but heavier than i wanted(i wanted it ready to go by the fall and didnt have time to wait for a broughton. and i already had the l.w. blank...) and fouls faster than id prefer. topped 1st w a bushnell 4200 2.5-10 and now a leupold vx-L 4.5-14. oh, and i use the .280ack nosler brass. havent had the primer probs mentioned earlier in the thread, and my loads are warm. ive used the brass 7x now...using the redding 280ai bushing neck sizer, 280ai body sizer, and had a custom seater made frm redding.
