I don't have my 280 Remington any longer as I had a 280AI built and I sold my 280 Remington. I really loved the 280 Remington also and I shot 140 gr. bullets in it using IMR4350. Out of my 700 Mountain Rifle with the 22" barrel I was getting 2940 fps with that load. It shot great and killed...
Slimmfinn you should look into getting your daughters each a Ruana knife for next year. Better purchase it now as Mike & Mark Hangus are looking to retire. This company has been family owned since it started in 1938 with Rudy Ruana (grandpa) making knives in the same shop still used today...
My Winchester Model 70 I have built into a 280AI has a 24" Shilen Match Grade barrel on it 1-9 twist. It shoots great. Heaviest bullets I have used have been 140 gr. Partitions and Accubonds. I know the same bullets in it except for being 160 grs. would work very well also. That's probably...
Can't wait to see it in action. There are powders that I'm sure would be faster than IMR4350, but it's worked for me for a lot of years. I shoot the 100 gr. Patition with 43.4 grs. of IMR4350. 3170 pfs. I've shot a few 90 gr. Accubonds out of it as well and they were really accurate and...

I think it's about time that Lipseys through Ruger should commission a run of Ruger #1's with a 24" sporter weight barrel and a 1-8 twist in 6mm Remington.
This is the 6.5 ManBun they are chambering currently. Build it just like this with this beautiful wood stock and a nice sporter 24" barrel.
120 gr. E-tip. .497 B.C.
125 gr. Partition .449 B.C.
130 gr. Accubond .488 B.C.
140 gr. Partition .490 B.C.
140 gr. Accubond .509 B.C.
In the Nosler manual it shows you should be able to get 2900-3000 fps with the 120 gr. E-tip. That would be a penetrating...
Well you surely need to fill that 6mm slot and I cannot think of one better than a 6mm Remington. I sure like my Ruger 1B with the 26" barrel. It really shoots and you get the most out of a 6mm with that long barrel that you are going to get. Yeah I like the 6mm Remington.
