[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 1349115, member: 68875"] I just loaded a ladder test set last night with the 175 Elite Hunter for my .280AI to shoot this weekend. I push the 168 HVLD @ 3020 into the .3s in my .280AI, so I am hoping for an accuracy node of 2950+ with the 175.. Not sure if it will gain me any downrange performance in actual realistic hunting distances or not. I am just one to constantly tinker with my rifles and loads. Since most of my other rifles have their permanent loads worked up, the .280AI and 6.5SS are getting attention in the load development department now that my own hunts are over for the year. Rifle specs are (built by AxisWorks): R700LA BDL trued Fluted bolt w. Carbon fiber knob & alloy shroud, TI firing pin w. Wolff Blitzschnell sping 26" 1:9" Proof Sendero Light w. Hawkins 3 port brake Manners EH1 Shilen Match trigger @ 1.5# Seekins alloy 20MOA Picatinny Rail Seekins alloy 30mm low rings Premier Heritage Light Tactical 3-15×50 Flatline Ops 30mm level Total rifle weight w.
