I have settled on using a few patches of shooters choice and a brush just to get the loose carbon out. After that I switch to a soaked patch of Wipe out accelerator, followed by a soaked patch of patch out/wipe out. This seems to work very well for me. On really stubborn barrels (my father in...

I played with RL-26 with the 150 ABLR and was never able to get anything to shoot consistently under .5" in My 280 AI. I knew the gun was capable of much better as I had groups in the .2 and .3 range with the 120 BT, 140 BT with three different powders, 140 AB, and 160 AB. So I switched to the...

Guy- Glad to hear you are recovering well. Hope things work out well for you. Just take your 375 out once a month or so. That thing is to pretty to be collecting dust! We just finished wheat harvest last week so I have finally had time to do a little shooting the last few mornings as well. It's...

The 260 AI has always been interesting to me. Looks like yours is doing quite well.

I used to think that the BT line was ment for coyotes and varmits. I had my eyes opened a little when I was playing with the 120 BT and 140 Bt in my 280 AI and 7-08. I shot the 120 Bt out of the 7-08 and it took several mule deer, all clean one shot kills that were quite impressive. I used...

Thanks Mike. I was pleased to say the least!

Worked up to 69 gr. 66 showed the most promise. Running right at 2930 fps. Not what the 270 WSM is capable of, but good enough. I got a 1" group with this load. I adjusted the seating depth longer and that was the wrong direction, so I'm going to try .005" and .010" shorter. One of those two...

Scott, I have been playing with the ABLR in my 280 AI for a while and finally settled on a load. I worked with the 150 ABLR for over a year, even took a nice buck at 475 yards with them, but accuracy was never what the gun was capable of. I switched to the 168 and played around with them...

I have this debate with myself quite often. I have use a 200 yard zero for anything that has some sort of compensating reticle like the B&C Leupold, or TMR. Everything with a duplex gets zeroed at 250 and dialed if needed. But I practice with holdovers out to 400 as well. I find that usually...

I'm hoping that I can get out tomorrow early morning to try some new loads. I was able to get up to 69 grains in the case, but it was packed in there pretty good.

I'm not sure, but I'm going to try. got plenty of room with 63 gr.

WOW! That kind of puts things into perspective a bit. Thanks Mike. I'm hoping I can get it dialed in by October. We are going to be starting wheat harvest today so my beloved rifle time is going on hold for the next month and a half. If all goes well I will have a week or so between alfalfa...

I'm working on a 270 WSM shooting the 150 ABLR for my father in law. I have it shooting pretty well with 62gr. (can cover three shots with a dime) and 63 gr (.5-.75 MOA) of H1000. According to the Nosler book that should be in the 2950-3050 range. I finally shot the 62 gr load over a chrony last...

I have been seeing this on my WLRM primers on loads that I know are not high pressure. Good to know it is not an issue with anything I'm doing. Maybe 1 or 2 out of 100. I switched to the WLRM when the 215 became hard to find. Looks like I'm going to have to switch up primers again and rework...

I played with RL-23 in my 280 AI with the 150 ABLR and the 168 ABLR. Didn't get anything worth getting excited about. I have had two different loads with RL-26 and the 168 ABLR go under half inch.

That is how my 280 AI was built. I bought a cheap beat up 110 as well. Sent a dummy round to PacNor and in a few months I had a barrel ready to screw on. Ordered the go/no-go gauges, screwed the barrel on and went shooting. I hunted with it in the original wood stock for a season or two then my...

I have had great luck with both of those powders. I can't find them locally anymore though. I really like them.

I have been running it in my 280 AI. I am getting 3115 with the 150 ABLR and around .5-.75" groups. With the 168 ABLR I got one ragged hole but I didn't have the Chrony set up. Based on Quickload I'm guessing this load to be around 2900 or so. I played with is in a 270 WSM with the 150 ABLR...

My wife, her dad, her brother and I all put in for unit 63 buck and doe tags this year. We were there in 2012 for does only and had a great time. Figured if we were going to drive the 16 hours we may as well try to get a buck as well. I was thinking about trying to bring the wall tent. From what...

My 338 WM is like that. 20-30 rounds and it goes to crap. Keep it really clean and it shoots great. Spent a custom barrels worth of powder and bullets fighting it before I figured it out. I'm thinking about trying some of the Tubbs bore conditioning bullets to smooth it out a bit. All my custom...
