Picked up my Nosler Custom .280 AI last Wednesday. I have never seen or touched such beautiful wood in my life. I could not shoot Thursday but was able to get out Friday morning before work. With the ammo that comes with the rifle shot 1.5 inches high and 2 inches left. One adjustment yielded perfect windage and same elevation. Proceeded to bust milk jugs at 300 and 500 yards with one shot each using Boone and Crocket reticle. Very pleased.
Wanted to develop best load possible. Using 3150 FPS as the standard to effectively use the scope I experimented with three round batches of IMR 4831, H 4831 SC, IMR 7828 SSC, RL 22, and Vihtavuori N560 with corresponding velocities. This was on Sunday morning with no wind, 40 degrees at 8:00 AM.
Group with RL 22 was right at one inch. With IMR 4831 3/4". With the N560 the first two were in the same hole. I figured if anyone could screw that up it would be me. Nope, the third touched the other two. Group size .265" Velocity average of the three was 3156 FPS.
Not only is it stunningly beautiful it is incredibily accurate. Proud of the product and wanted to share
