[QUOTE="floppy, post: 2683954, member: 124646"] I had a 280AI put together by E. R. Shaw a couple of years ago 700 Rem action 25" 8 twist barrel. 143 Hammer Hunter, 210M primers and IMR4451 powder .050 jump. Max load for "my" rifle is 55.5 grains at about 3000 fps. Solid sub 1/2" shooter. The key with Hammer bullets is the twist rate of your barrel so pay attention to what Hammer recommends regarding the maximum weight you use. Didn't have an opportunity to take an Elk a year ago but felt absolutely confident that the 143HH would have handled it easily. [/QUOTE]
