Roy, Many people have opinions on the 280 but very few shoot them. I own 2 280's and would never part with them. I own a7-08, 7-08 Improved, 7 Wsm, 7mm Wby & a 280 Improved also. If I were to shed all but one, I'll take the plain old 280. It has put plenty of animals down. It shoots 1/2" evry...

What is not long-range or time-proven about the combination you are currently using?

The 140's are fine for Whitetail & Antelope but I would go with the 160 for Elk. I load the 160's for Pigs, Axis & Elk. The 160's possess greater penetration and shock trauma. I worked up some Accubond loads and they are awesome bullets. They have a long bearing surface though. Velocity is...

7mm Wby. I do love my 300 Wby too.

Longwinters, I would agree. Had my daughter wanted a lesser round, I would have put her behind a 7/08. She started out shooting my 280 JDJ with 66 gr powder charges. Her last hunts found her carrying the 280 Remignton. SHe loves it and I love it that she likes it. It is an awesome weapon and...

I will write you once I get home from work this evening and give you names and numbers.

My go-to gun has been my 280 Remington. All I ever felt when I settled the crosshairs on the animal was, "Gee, the work is about to start and the fun is over." I don't even know what velocity my cheap Remington Express 150 gr Core-Lokt's are doing but I suspect I'd start handloading it if I did...

Ernie, To answer your question: 180 or 200 gr Accubond, Partition, Grand Slam, Trophy Bonded Bear Claw, Swift A frame, Scirocco for loaders. Core-Lokt Ultra , Federal Fusion in commercial ammo. I'd stay away from that Winchester junk. Any of the above will work well. My preference is the...

Yes I do. I have been on an Exotic game ranch since 1998. The owner guides hunts on the place. Our ranch is 5000 acres. There are Axis, Sika, Elk, Fallow, Blackbuck, Eland, Mouflon, Barborosa, Corsican & , of course, Whitetail. Prices range from $1500 to $350. I pay $2100 for an annual lease...

I suggest you rig a light to your feeder. My timer has a light feature on it. It will turn on a small LED at whatever time I set it. The pigs don't care. They pile up under that feeder like fat puppies sleepin'. Makes 'em easy to shoot after dark. I don't get nearly as much time in the stand as...

You can go to your local drug store in the eyecare section and find anti-fog paste for prescription glasses. I use "Sight Savers" or "Magic Wipes" which are small wipes individually packaged. Some have alcohol some don't but more importantly, some have silicone and some don't. I stay away from...

They have. Go to Nosler.com > ballistics room. Find the Ballistic Tip load data for the 180 gr and use it for the Accubond.

May I inquire as to your rank and job in the Air Force? I am interested because my daughter was recently assigned to a C-17 as a Load Master Exemplary in Charleston AFB after flight training in Altus, OK.

Started when I was 14. My mother bought me a Smith & Wesson Model 19 357 Mag. 34 years for me. Don't know it all but I have learned a little.

Longwinters, Giant Holes..........been there and done that. JUST SAY NO !!!!.....to b.t.'s.

Tom, You were supposed to say it is second only the 7mm Wby Mag.

Yes. You are correct.

A .243 Winchester will not drive a Ballistic Tip fast enough for you to "dislike" it. The B-Tip should serve you well with that combo.

Have I got a deal for you. I have a Burris 2-7x LER that came off my 6.5 JDJ. I'll let it go for $100.
