Bill,

You are right, a 130 gr AB at 3000 fps should do the job on deer.
Should have a field report tomorrow. :wink:

Looking forward to hearing about the smack the 264RM puts down Jim! I can't imagine you would think it's lacking after some good post field tests. Doubt you'll recover any bullets though. Scotty

I'm turning green here; I can't wait to hear about how she performs on those does!

Glad to hear the bedding job is working out nicely for you. That rifle is a looker...

Can't wait to see what it does. I imagine it should be sweet though. Scotty

 

[JD338]

I am ready, just waiting on the call....

Nice Jim!
I always wanted a set of them, the 6.5 and .350.
Both rounds, ahead of their time in my opinion.

 

[Oldtrader3]

Really nice rifle and great caliber, Jim, that rifle and scope combo should make a great hunting rig.

 

[JD338]

I tried IMR 4831 once again with the 130 gr AB after the bedding job and shot this group at 100 yds.

MV 3047 fps, ES 11, SD 5. Group went .286" c/c.
This is my hunting load.

Danged Impressive!!!!!

 

[DrMike]

Do deer sweat? 'Cause Michigan deer must be sweating now.

 

[Greg Nolan]

Jim, you've got that rifle shooting far better than it has a right to. Fantastic job of working up the perfect load. :grin:

[SJB358]

Great shooting Jim. I hope you get the chance to try RL17. I am kinda thinking it might add a little speed, not that you need it at all, but heck free speed is a nice thing once in awhile. Scotty

 

[257 Ackley]

Looks like you are more than ready to do some smack-down Jim! Looking forward to seeing a picture of the deer with the rifle. Try and go stem-to-stern with the shot so we can see a recovered bullet

Hard to argue with that. Good work Jim.

Jimmy D that is one fine group and a hell of a hunting load.

[Oldtrader3]

I would feel pretty good about that group, if it was mine. Looks as though you are ready.

Been out of the country. Finally made it to the range with my 673 after over a year. Tried a new load, no good. Also shot up the last 4 leftover deer loads to a typical .8" 3-shot group, including the first one out of a cold clean barrel. The fourth one went off a bit. I scratched my head to figure out why they were 3" low where they shoulda been 1.8" high. Finally remembered that I had the gun apart after last hunting season to grind and sand the stock to float the barrel, and added the bipod.

Came here to brag and saw the .286 group above. Very impressive, JD. Remington had no idea that these guns could shoot that good!
