I've been checking out the Christensen Arms Ridge Lines. I'm thinking of another 280 Ack Imp for a hunting rifle. does anyone have experience with this rifle, and if so, how do you like them?
I have handled a few of them. The Mesa and the Ridge line. The Ridge line is more of what I am looking...
It has been a good while since I've last posted here. Couple of years actually. I screwed my back up, so for the past four years I've been dealing with it. Last August things sort of came to a head with it, and it put me out of work for 6 months. Dr. wanted to do surgery but his prognosis was...
just trying something out. This trip was a bust. managed to take a Doe, but that was it. after a week of hunting hard, nothing seemed to be moving. Saw a couple young bucks, and a gob of Does. Figured I would give the bucks time to grow, and take a doe instead.
I get to hunt this farm once a...
I picked up another box of Nosler 280 AI brass from my local gun shop this weekend. I decided to check the case neck thickness with a sinclair case neck thickness gage. I had three boxes to get through, so I turned on ESPN to watch some college football, and get to sorting.
What I found was...
Finally finally finally found more RL26. I was down to less than half a pound. After a few months of not finding it, my local gunshop finally received a case. I bought 4 pounds and going back today for another 4 pounds.
I was almost ready to start working up a load with H4831sc or IMR7828ssc...
Trying to get a good guesstimate on the ELD-X'S compared to the 150gn ABLR. anyone have experience with this bullet in the 280 AI.
I'm looking for powder used, velocity, and accuracy. Of course performance on game would be nice as well.
Thanks for sharing your experience in advance

Just thought I would throw this out there for some of you more experienced annealers. I have a few Nosler 280 AI brass that needs anealing. Anyoneone interested in doing it for me for a fee of course.
I figured it would be much cheaper than buying a machine right now.

I've finally loaded up my second batch of 280 AI. 60.5 gns of RL26 worked so well the last time, I loaded 12 rounds with that load data to see if I can work out my drop chart to 600 yds. I also loaded some at 61.5 and 62gns to see if I'm approaching a safe max load. I will most likely stop when...
Today I finally made it to the range to shoot my new custom 280 AI. started with a couple rounds loaded with 58gn of RL26. Took only two shots to get the scope zeroed. Velocity was 2790 for those shots.
Load was
Nosler brass
Nosler 150gn ABLR
RL26
Fed 210 primers
COAL 3.340
58.5 was at 2830...
Some of you know I've been waiting nearly a year for my custom 280 AI. I finally have it, and I will be mounting a scope this weekend, as well as prepping some Nosler Brass for load development.
This is my goal for my first range session. To find max safe load for my rifle. I will be loading...
Finally after a year since this project started my custom is complete and headed home. Can not wait to get it scoped and started on load development.

Yep despite what you heard. 30-06 and a 165gn BT still equals bad medicine at 406 yds. Thats what I told my buddy sitting in a stand with a 300 Win mag.
Some ppl think 30-06 bounces right off deer if you shoot at them over 200 yards.
Shot her at 406 out of that stand. Dropped where she...
Picked up a pound of R26 yesterday with the hopes of finding a good load for 150gn and up. R22 shoots great but the insensitivity to temp has drove me away.
If there are some who have tried it and are happy with the reaults, I sure would like to hear it. Maybe some one with QL wouldnt mind...
Has anyone had stellar results with this combo? I would be interested in hearing about your results.
I was really interested in using this powder since I have 4 pounds of it.
