[QUOTE="VinceMule, post: 2985019, member: 122164"] I have mentioned this previously, but it is worth saying again. The 280 Rem, 24" bbl, 160-168g bullets is all over 2900-2930 fps with IMR 7828 with a Federal 210 primer, 58.5g of powder, and LESS, work up a load for your barrel, and this is a niche load for the Std 280 with amazing accuracy. I got this load out of the Nosler manuals #3 and #4. For some reason, the Federal 210 primer with this niche load is critical for 3/8" and smaller groups. Now go up to the 180g at 2700 fps with even less powder used with the 180g ELD-m with its advertised BC of .796, it is impressive. If Barrel life matters give it some thought. We have made converts of a lot of '06 shooters in our deer clubs by letting them borrow one of our 7/08s shooting the 130g Speer btsp at 3000 fps with IMR 4895, amazing accuracy and deer just flop. I sat with my 13-year-old nephew in a Tree Stand down in the Santee area in SC, killing two does at 300 and 325 yards with his Rem sporter with the 6.5x20 with target knobs. He used the range finder, dialed the scope up, DRT deer. He is now in his 30's, shooting the 140g Berger VLD hunting because it is the latest and greatest. If there is a downside to a 7 Rem Mag Factory Remington or custom with either a SAAMI .110 freebore or a .210 custom freebore, I have not found it in terms of accuracy in the extreme, std Rem and Win brass shoots small, real small groups. 162-168 at 3100 out of a 26" with Retumbo/215s gets the job done. In all of the Remington 700s the family has had put in McMillen or Laminate stocks, bedded, etc, they all shot tiny groups with 140s-175s, and we do have our own 600 yd range. We have 3 of the custom 7 STWs, but the recoil is substantial, they get used less and less as the years fly by as the family reaches for the 7/08, 280, 280 AI, and the 7 Mag. [B][COLOR=rgb(41, 105, 176)]As we become better shooters, range estimators, and confident with Higher BC bullets, we reach for less recoil to get the job done[/COLOR][/B]. Groups at 500 & 600 yards Seal in your Mind's Eye your capability with Confidence in the Extreme, standard Hunting rifles. [/QUOTE]
