Thanks for the reply... I test fired some 180gr WW factory PPs on Saturday...They shot about 1.75" and the barrel jump was profound! The scope lightly smacked me twice... :oops: I imagine that little Frontier must do all of that and more with 200gr ers!! :shock: After that experience I am...

Good to be back here after a long absence...many things incl spinal surgery. I am on the mend and hope to have the Pref points for Wyoming Elk next year! :lol: I will dust off the Sako 75 Hunter(23" bbl) in .300 WSM with a 3.3X10X44 Zeiss on her. I have lots of 165 and 180 NPTs and some 168...

What grain bullet are you using in your .300 Mag? If you are around 150gr I would stick with partitions.... 180 gr and above Accubonds shound be equally fine for Deer

The Sub MOA Vanguards are approx the same price range as trhe Tikka...They are both nice but I certainly like the 24" bbl on the VG...also a decelerator recoil pad and pillar bedded medalist stock. The sub MOA is a whole different animal than the std Vanguard.

Mark I have a bit os 7 STW brass...some unfired... some once fired from a Sako 75 SS Hunter which I no longer own. PM me if interested... :wink:

Really IMPRESSIVE TO ME! :shock: I was spotting for him...when his last two loads went into the same hole at 100yds on a 1" dot that was AWESOME!!!!!

My SubMOA Wby has a 24" tube POP! 8) I may even be a tad faster than that? :twisted:

Mine too!!! Heck I still have some old timers in a red box! :oops:

Well Long and I hit the range yesterday...someone was nice enough to plow the road. Light winds...overcast...temp about 20 degrees .280 Rem CDL Burris 4.5x14x44 120gr Nosler BT 3.333 COL 3 shot groups@100yds Re 19 powder 1) 53.5 gr......... 1. 25 " 2) 55.5 gr......... 0. 24 " 3) 57.5...

FYI I saw Long's 7-30 Contender and it is scoped with a low power variable...

Nice shooting POP! :lol: 6.5 STW??? WOOOOEEEEE!!! That would definitely ROCK! 8)

Blazer 93 you have a PM :lol:

His load for 140s was RE 22...at least 60gr. Most my .280s have shot 0.50 or better with either Re 19 or H 4831 ( 140 gr )...Never played with 150s. 140 N Accs kill deer like lightning and I worked up 160s for Elk. RE 22 got me under an inch with 160s.

I am another "YOOPER" from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan... :P Longwinters and I both live in the Iron Mountain area...about 110 miles north of Green Bay WI. I am originally from Chicago Ill...about 5 hrs south of here... We have Whitetails, lots of Black Bear, Moose and Wolves (they both...

Ohhh Yeah! I had a chance to buy a Speedy Gonzales custom built .280 AI from a guy on 24 hr Campfire...it was the ultimate dream gun! Built on a Remmy Sendero frame, 26" Lilja barrel, Mcmillan Edge stock...weighed 8# and shot 1 hole groups with either reg .280 or AI ammo. 8) I didn't have the...

My partner Longwinters and I have had several .280s and have found them very easy to please in 140, 150, and 160 gr loads using either RE 19, RE 22, H 4831, or H 4350. Our Sako 75 Hunters both printed sub 0.25" MOA with various bullets. My Browning SS Stalker shot a 0.41" three shot group at...

Thas what I will normally do but I had little 4831 left... so since The 53.5 was Noslers most accurate and 57.5gr load was listed as really great by several others I will try these....Viht 165 powder is not available within 200 miles of here but I am traveling toward Chicago in a few weeks and...

Get your sorry Spam A$$ out of here!!!! :x

Wonderful cartridge! My Ruger R77 and #1 were both under an inch... The round was a deadly German Sniper rifle round... and killed over 100 Elephants by Kararmojo Bell in Africal Mine both loved 140gr solid base Noslers with about 50-51 gr of powder...cant remember the type. I killed six...
