154g Hornady Sp will penetrate and exit. So will the Hornady 162 BTSP. Both are rated as "elk" bullets which my family has proved time...

That sounds promising. Thanks.

H4350 is AR2209 and was released in Australia before AR2213 which is also H4831. We used it in everything including the .300 Winchester...

I've shot several nilgai with my 280AI. Some as close as 100 yards. I get 2800+fps with a 160gr NP. I've never gotten pass through...

I use RE23 pushing 160 TMK at 3020 FPS 1/4 MOA. Also 168 Bergers VLDs at 2980fps. I took off my 26inch barrel and just put on a 22...

Watching on how the 77tmks on gel in low velocity is amazing. And pumping them out of the CM brass is an awesome bullet. But I need to...

I have/had 3 -280 AI's. H4831sc was faster and shot smaller than H4350 in all of them.

Shoot a mono-metal bullet and you will get exits almost 100% of the time on whitetails.

..you couldn't find a better powder than H-4350 for any cartridge based off the tried and true 30/06 casing. I've loaded for everything...

This is the only 280AI I've ever loaded for and I agree with you on the slower powders. I prefer a slower powder in a winmag also but...

Was the elk killed with the BJ or the Hammer? I’m really enjoying my 25-284 with the 131 BJ.

No pics of the carcass, drug her out in the dark... She was quartering away from me, shot entered right behind the last rib on the right...

I love these types of posts! So many opinions and votes for favorite cartridges and rifles... and guess what? They are ALL great...
