Always get a large exit wound with Barnes bullets on Elk. Never have had one not pass through and that is with my 338 win mag with 225 gr bullets at 2800 fps. Which is comparable
My RCBS match master dies both resized and set the shoulder back 2 thousands on my Lapua and ADG brass. I had difficulty chambering the brass at first in my Christiansen Arms Mesa 6.5 prc after the first firing. Not a problem now they chamber smoothly. I measure seating depth CBTO on all my...

I have hunted with the 280 for years. Got my first remington left hand action in 280. The throat can be extended so that you can set the bullets farther out of the cases. Helpps when loading larger weight bullets and getting a little more velocity. I get 2950 fps out of 55.5 grains of 4350...
I did forget to mention on the mule deer we were well above the animal and shooting down hill at a good angle. My distance estimation and knowing where to shoot up hill or down have always been pretty poor. Can't remember how many times I have shot over or hit the animal high in the past or...
I have a bushnell and have used it here and in Africa. Site in at 100 yards, tell the range finder bullet and velocity and aim the range finder and shoot. Shot a mule deer this last October in the snow at 325 yards. Bushnell range finder told me to hold 17" high and smacked the buck right...
