[QUOTE="slamminsalmon, post: 1007744, member: 84915"] We are headed to montana next fall for muleys and antelope. I currently have my 300rum and 280rem that I have a few loads worked up for. the 300rum I'm using 200gr AB's and doing very well out to 800yds with 3238 average muzzel vel. The 280 is just a basic a-bolt with no work done to it and it is a tack driver at 200yds I have shot it consistantly to 400. The loads I'm using for that are 140gr ab's at 2750 fps, 150gr bst at2730, and 160gr ab's at 2650fps. So those shoot well but that little evil voice keeps telling me I need a new piece of hardware in the 25-06, 257 weatherby, or 6.5 norma range. If I did purchase a new one right now it would have to be a factory rifle as the budget doesnt allow for high end stuff right now. I also thought about trying some 150gr sciroccos through the 300rum. Any help is greatly appreciated. thank you. [/QUOTE]
