[QUOTE="bamban, post: 2905341, member: 17722"] Thank you. I re-barreled one of my rifles into 280A1, using a borrowed pre-SAAMI reamer from a friend. Another friend, Dave Tooley, donated 4 boxes of RWS 270 brass. To save barrel life from fireforming duty, I re-chambered a 7-08 barrel with the same reamer. With 80 twice fireformed RWS brass, they should last a while, maybe outlast the barrel, if I were to shoot it a lot. The 280A1 is very interesting. Mine can outrun my older 7RM, velocity wise, using 175 Elite Hunter. This one shoots fine. 1000 yard cold bore at 3 o'clock. Head splash were from one of my 300WMs and from another one I chambered for a friend, as we were having fun on the range. [ATTACH type="full"]494599[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
