I have no un-loved powder or bullets. I love them all equally, well, there's a couple that I love a little more. 😁

I raised our 4 children and 2 grandsons after their father was tragically killed with my 280. We always had venison and wild "hawg" sausage on the table. The only way I'll ever be without my 280 is through death.

I've had mine for 30 yrs and have killed upwards of 150 deer with it. It is a great cartridge for sure

I spent a little time at the range today. My intent was to sight the 280 back in due to changing to the Talley scope mounts. That went well. one shot and on paper and it was right back to "boringly" shooting those 154 gr SST's into 3/4 of an inch. My other intent was to decide which load I was...

I've always tried to adhere to that but the old idiomatic saying, "The best laid plans of men and mice often go awry" sometimes get in the way.

None of that "old school stuff" is the same anymore.

Great memories!! Love those full stock rifles. Every now and again we all do things that we regret, however, Im glad you had the opportunity to rectify that mistake. I got rid of a Browning many years ago that I regret more than anything but like smoke through a keyhole, it's gone forever with...

I space my Chrono 10-15 ft from muzzle, muzzle blast can and will give some funky readings. 2...Magnum primers could help a little bit but is probably not the panacea of the issue.... 3...Possible Chrono issue valid. Probably not though. Number 4 is the winner IMO, keep adding powder while...

Well, I got them put on my rifle. I like the looks of them as well. Lord willing I'll be headed to the range come Saturday. Best part, they are manufactured right here in a town in my home state, Santee, SC

Is this statement made through experience? If so, could you elaborate.

Yes sir, congrats.

Im not sure what you deem "big bullet" because that term is certainly debatable but If "you" are capable of utilizing big bullets then yes, I would say go for it. However, everyone is not able to withstand what bigger calibers and bullets bring to the table.

For the most part, Ive always believed that horse power is not a replacement for poor bullet placement. Just because one may use a 429 super moose smasher does not mean that you can place a bullet somewhere between the nose and the coccyx and be ok.

What size scope do you run with them?

Im thinking of putting a set of the Talley Lightweight Scope mounts on my 280 Browning A-Bolt. I know there's some negative comments out there on these but I take the vast majority of that with a grain of salt. I like the idea of the integrated mount and ring being together, plus, they are...

Welcome my friend.

Say on my brother!!

Ive never tried any of the Winchester variants. I've read that HD is slightly faster than 26. Not sure what you are wanting to substitute it in but I really don't see why HD would not work. Of course HD is a double base powder and RL26 is an extruded stick powder, and has different burn...

One or the other must have been identifying as non-binary. :oops: :oops::ROFLMAO::LOL:

I killed a piebald 9pt several years ago. I'll try to find a pic. I've seen a couple piebald doe deer before as well. Not a real oddity but I've also caught several black coyotes while trapping.
