Guy, I would have a hard time taking that beauty up there. Most of my guns I don't mind a few battle scares, but if I had one that nice I would be having second thoughts about it. Good luck either way!

I have taken several critters with the ABLR. I took a realy nice Idaho buck at 475 with a 150 ABLR out of my 280 AI doing 3100, dropped him. Pretty impressed. Took another Idaho buck @ 80 yards with the same load the next year. Shot both front shoulders, he stood up on his hind legs and fell...

And that is why I'm continue to wait for my chance at that tag. Fingers crossed it will only be a few more years. I'm super happy for Delwyn! I know his family spends A LOT of time up there looking for these bulls. That is a once in a lifetime bull for sure!

I'm running the 140 AB in my M70 270 Weatherby. They shoot pretty good and I'm getting 3285 with them. If the rifle wasn't so pretty I would use it a lot more!

That is the same bag that I use. I run a rear bag as well for some added stability. They work great. My only complaint is that I only get about a year or two out of them. My concrete bench is a bit rough and slowly wears through them. It is more of a bench issue than a bag issue thought. Other...

Pac Nor built the barrel on my 280 AI. It is a fluted #4 finished at 24". I went with a 3 groove 9 twist. I sent them a dummy round, they sent me a barrel. I screwed it onto a Savage and bedded it into a McMillian stock. It is the most consistent rifle I own. I have four or five other rifles...

I didn't have any luck with RL-26, but I have a good shooting load doing 3010 fps with RL-23. 62gr I think.

I had great luck with my 375R and the 260 AB with Ramshot Big Game, H100v, and IMR 4895. The H100V wasn't the fastest thing in the world at 2730 fps, but it shot and honest .3" group.

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...
