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.

Thank you everyone for your replies and Dr Mike for the QL data. I kind of feel late to the party with this century plus year old cartridge. Modern rifles, powders and bullets certainly add some spice to the old girl. Guy I did watch that Ultimate Reloader episode, I enjoyed it a lot. Gavin is...
