    Help Needed - 280 AI, 140 accubond, Re23,26?

    I use 63 grains of RL22 with 140 Accubonds. Best group was .183 Velocity averages 3225. I've never tried 23 or 26 but I don't think I'll improve much, if any, over what I have with 22. BP

    I have 2 of these. Best knife Gerber ever made. I've seen them on EBAY quite a few times

    Ruger 10/22 Takedown

    I have one that my wife gave me for Christmas a few years ago. It's great. No problems with staying zeroed. No problems with ammo cycling. I replaced the sights with fiber optic sights. I'm planning to put a scope on it but it has to be a small one so that it will still fit in the case. BP

    Most memorable shot on big game?

    My most memorable shot was at a coyote (I know... not a big game animal, but still memorable). I was helping a friend and his kids elk hunting. We were driving down the road when a coyote ran along side the truck and stopped. The only gun that I had with me was a S&W 44 magnum with a 4" barrel...

    Sig Sauer Mosquito

    Anybody have any experience with the Sig Mosquito? I just picked one up a few days ago. I've read a lot about them and they seem to have feeding problems, especially with bulk ammo. I haven't shot mine yet. Hopefully it performs ok. BP

    AZ APPLICATIONS IN

    Looks like I'll be hunting Coues deer this fall. My card got charged too. I know where... I just don't when. My dad and I put in for 6A in December and 6A in October. We probably got the October hunt based on past drawing odds. Either one is great because we'll be hunting again. BP

    How to properly setup your chronograph...

    I have a friend that shot the display of his Chrony with a 44 mag. He sent it back to Chrony with a note that said "Please send me a new chronograph. This one suddenly quit working." They didn't send him one. BP

    New guy with questions for 280AI

    Welcome! You'll find a few 280AI lovers here... myself included. Mine is also built on a 700 action. It has a 25 1/2" Shilen barrel on it. I use it primarily for deer/antelope type animals. The only bullet I've tried is a 140gr Nosler Accubond. If I hunted elk and other big animals with it I...

    140 Gr Acubonds in a 270 Win for elk

    Ok... I'll be the bad guy here! First of all, in my opinion, none of the others who offered advice are wrong. There is more than enough evidence from them that it will work. Plenty of guys have killed their biggest bulls with a 270. I get it. But, I think a 140 gr bullet from a 270 is a little...

    280AI

    As far as primers go, I have a little different experience. I had been using 62.5 gr of RL22 and 140 gr AB with a Fed. 215 primer. I had good results with that (.75"ish). Then I tried 63.0 gr of RL22 with the Rem. 9 1/2 and my groups shrunk considerably. (See above). I picked up about 25 fps...

    280AI

    My best load is: Nosler Brass 63.0 gr RL22 140 Gr. Nosler AB Rem. 9 1/2 primer COAL 3.405 3225 fps (chrongraphed) The 140 AB is the only bullet I've used. RL22 is by far the best powder I have used. My rifle has a 25 1/2" barrel which probably helps a little with the velocity. BP

    New (To me) Model 70 300 Weatherby

    I can definitely understand the disappointment of not getting the Pre-64 you thought you were getting, but you still got a good one. I have the same rifle. Love it. I bought it somewhere around 1998. I don't know if it's considered rare, but I haven't seen very many. I've shot several different...

    Ruger #1 lovers unite!

    Ahhh.... One of my favorite rifles. Nothing classier. I have a #1B in 22-250 that was made in 1971, the same year I was born. Looks like it came out the box yesterday. Beautiful stock. I bought it the day before my son was born. I told my wife it was for him, but I don't think I fooled her...

    What 30 cal bullet

    "Non-Nosler"? Is there such a thing? Blasphemy!!! Just kidding. I've had good luck with Hornady Interlocks in most calibers and weights. Over the last few years I've converted to Accubonds almost exclusively. Good luck. BP

    6.5 WSM load data?

    Hey guys... I'm looking for some reloading info on the 6.5 WSM. Anybody around here shooting one? I'm specifically looking for info with 130 & 140 gr. bullets. Thanks, BP

    RL 22 Anyone?

    I need some too. I'm in AZ and it's pretty hard to find around here. I've been searching for a while and can't find any. If anybody knows where to get it, I'd appreciate it if you let me know. BP

    Credit Card "Hit"

    My credit card was also charged. My dad and i will probably be hunting coues deer in Nov. in northern Az. It's the same hunt that we had last year. I shot a nice 3x3 that scored about 83. I already have a bull elk tag in the same unit in Oct. It's going to be a good fall. BP

    Arizona Elk & Antelope draw results

    The draw results for elk and antelope in Arizona were released yesterday. I was lucky enough to draw a rifle bull tag in unit 6A (just south of Flagstaff) in October. I was drawn with my dad and a friend. I'll be using my 300 WBY with 200 gr. Accubonds at 3000 fps for this hunt. I had the same...

    AZ ELK/ANTELOPE

    PJ, I hope you finally get an AZ antelope tag this year. I was 0-24 before I got my first tag. I'm a little uncomfortable admitting this... But now I've had 3 rifle antelope tags over a 5 year period! It's been 2 years since the last one. What units do you put in for? Good luck! BP
