Just ordered some. Thanks

I have read about guy who sold their rifle because of the shortage. And others have change their mind about building a rifle in this caliper to something with a better sore of brass. I like the caliper and it shoots well. I'm sticking with it for now.

Does anybody know a source for new 28 Nosler Brass? Is Nosler still making it?

Elk season starts in 2 week. All of my brass has been reloaded up to 5 times. I wish I could find some new 28 Nosler brass to load. Nosler has really disappointed me with the lack of brass or loaded ammo.

Unlike Pa, I believe Colorado requires you to carry your Hunter Education Card along with your license. If you don't have your original card you might want to find a local Hunter Ed course and get a new card before heading out. I like to bring a life straw or some sort of water filter. Good Luck.

I am using Hunter in my 280AI. I'm hitting 3100fps with the 150TTSX. Very accurate. I recommend that you give it a try.

I had the best accuracy at .090 to .100 off the lands.

I have loaded the 150 grain e-tip form my 280AI and found it to be extremely accurate,( maybe the most accurate bullet for that gun). I seated the bullet about .090 from the lands for best accuracy. I end up abandoning the bullet because of my inability to find why I would get an occasional...

Thanks guys. The speed of that load was not great compared to what a 280AI can do. It was running just over 2700fps. It was a starting load and I was doing a C.O.A.L test to determine the best seating depth of the E-tip. I believe I've settled for .90 off the lands.

Thanks for the photo tour. That looked like a great time. I don't post much and I don't want to sound like am am bragging but I have had a Cooper rifle for a few years. It's a 280AI and it does shoot well. This is some early work with the Nosler E-Tip at 100yrds This photo is the E-tip at...

Thanks guy. As soon as I can find a scope and some dies I plan to start loading with the 225 Partitions (SPS has a good price on overruns right now.) But I am willing to take any suggestions. The rifle’s first assignment will be for elk and black bear. I was invited join a co-worker on a...

I was not wanting to be left out so I purchased a 35 Whelen on Friday. It is a Ruger 77 Hawkeye with the all weather finish. I still need to find a scope for it and purchase a set of loading dies. I hope I can find the time and have it dialed in for my Elk hunt in Oregon this fall.

Great shooting Jim, The 280AI rocks.

Thank I will make a note to visit Specialty sports on my next trip. I'm back in Pennsylvania now but I hope to be working in Colorado again later this summer or fall. I did visit Estes Park and took a short drive in Rocky Mountain National Park. It is truly beautiful country. I am envious of...

I am working in Colorado for a couple of weeks. And I have been all smiles since I arrived. Not only is it beautiful here but the people are very nice too. I have traveled from Colorado Springs, Denver, Loveland and Cheyenne, Wy. The scenery has been spectacular. I have had the chance to...

While reading the Hodgdon 2011 Annual Manual I noticed a writer wrote that he was using 41.0 grains of LVR behind a 170 grain sierra to get 2300fps. And 42 grain of LVR with a 150 Sierra to exceed 2500fps. I not in the position to say if this is safe load or not, but I am surprised that these...

This was the first year that I hunted with a 30-30. I took my 11 year old son with me for opening buck season (his first hunt). He is small and I knew the 280 was too heavy for him. I bought some of Remingtons reduced recoil loads for him to take some practice shoots and he fell in love with...

Thanks. No bear again this year, but some nice memories.

Yes we do love it. Non-hunters cannot understand the thrill we feel when we see wildlife. We don't always need to kill it to have a great hunt. I have never taken a bear in the 20+ years of hunting them. I hope someday my luck will change. But if not I'm still gonna hunt. Today the weather...

Today was opening day for black bear in Pennsylvania. 30 minutes after sun rise I saw a beautiful white tail buck sneaking thru the patch I was watching. After I lost sight of him I glanced around and saw a huge 7x 7 bull elk coming up the hill on my left. He stopped about 20 yards from me...
