280 AI is done!

[BP736]

After a little more work with my new 280 AI, I think I'm definitely on the right track. I shot this 3 shot group with 140 ABs and 62.5 gr of RL22. I had been using Rem. 9 1/2 primers with some success. I tried Fed. 215s and the group shrunk down to this. The velocity averaged 3225 fps... I had hoped for 3200. I need to shoot it a few more times to confirm it, but it looks good so far. I think coues whitetail in northern AZ might be in a little trouble with this set up.

Great group, BP; and it is dialed in nicely.

That is a great looking rifle and it appears that you made a tack driver. Congratulations on a fine job :wink:
