I’m at 92.5 of retumbo in Norma brass with the. 200 accubond. That is getting along at 3,080fps and is very accurate. That is one grain over max in the Nosler reloading book.

Beautiful animal. Can you share some more details on how you got him?

Indeed welcome to the 280ai cult…I mean club 😝 I mostly shoot 150’s in mine as well and have found H4350 was excellent. If you want some good YouTube videos, check out Little Crow gun works. He has done a lot of work in the 7mm calibre and gives the old AI a fair going over.

I really like the colours of that Boyd stock. Is she going to get a run in the field this season?

You need a 9.3x62. Good magazine capacity, never found an inaccurate one, not punishing recoil and always leaves a smile on my face whilst shooting one. With a 250 grain accubond they actually become a 300 yard cartridge quite comfortably.

IMR 4350 is a problem, but H4350 we can get literally any time over here. Great photos and thanks for sharing. I find myself these days moving to more efficient cartridges and those that don't need muzzle brakes to tame...though I do have a soft spot for a light 300RUM I own that would be a...

That is one nicely conditioned deer. Lovely country. Congrats to your Mum.

Well that helps restock the freezer. Such a handy rifle in a handy cartridge. My son shoots the same rig and it has been outstanding in every way.

is that H4350?

What a legacy. Condolences to the Nosler family

Looks like some gas leakage around that primer as well

Surprisingly not. It was on a tikka rifle, had only fired a handful of shots. I was expecting a catastrophic failure. Ammunition was Remington core locks so maybe a softer projectile prevented everything from coming apart. I know the gunsmith the rifle went to to be checked over and everything...

Or if someone accidentally chambers it in the wrong rifle, dumb things do happen. Someone recently fired a 308 in a 270 at our local range recently.

Now that sir is a very good year

That is a great freezer filler. You would almost think that bullet was designed for the old 8x57. You can't ask for more than that. Congrats

Well done and great work on a successful hunt. Nice way to christen a new rifle.

A 300Rum with a fast twist is about as good as it gets. Not too much that wouldn’t get done anywhere in the world. Hope you have a great hunt.

Welcome to one of the nicer forums out there. I had a similar problem with a 30/30 when I put a new scope on. Hadn’t played with it for a bit and went to sight it back in. It started keyholing and I couldn’t work out what was wrong. Turned out I was ricocheting the bullet into the target. That...

I suspect when I look back, half the fun of playing with different cartridges was because I had kids who liked to hunt as well. I always thought it was important they had their own rifles as there is an enormous amount of responsibility that comes with that. Also a sense of pride too. As they...

It will make no difference in the field at the distances I am shooting at. Thank you.
