Thanks I’m getting to the point May habe to go tjhat route or another

Having a 7ss built on a short barrel to run surpressed have everything i need but the dang bullets.

Oh man didn’t know there was that thread thnx

same but using H1000 but looking for powder for the AH I heard needs to be faster burning Dam that's awesome with the 155 anyone mess with the 172 yet? Then again a 155 at 3200 which I am sure I can get in a 26" nothing to sneeze at!!

Of course I have 10 lbs of h1000 and 4831sc. Dang it!! Do have some RL16. How temp sensitive is 17? I’ve always just used Hodgon powders

Yeah I was going to call Steve I just think h1000 may be too slow goben the pressure decrease but hoping 4831 but it may be a tad slow too. But if can get 172s shooting may be a deadly elk roind. 6.5 saum for everything else. I had hoped to get 156 EOLs to shoot in the 6.5 but may not be...

I have a 280ai with a 26" carbon benchmark tube 1:8 love the rifle shoots 143 HHs with H4831 .5-.75 at 3180 fps. and 168 LRABS with h1000 to .25" and 2850 but picked up a 6,5 saum so thinking of making the 280ai my dedicated elk rifle or bigger game. I am thinking about trying either the 155s...

Has anyone experienced this to be less of an issue with copper bullets? Its bee my exp and could be shear coincidence he copper bullets cold bores seem to not be affected? I am in he fouling group and still rather use lead

I picked up 200 brand new ADG a month ago. Should last me awhile

Thats amazing. I was hoping to get 3100 out of my 25" proof and 140 elites. has me thinking i should go shorter.

With me getting my new 6.5 saum to shoot 140s possibly 156s i just dont see a need for my 280ai. it shoots the 143HHs pretty well at 3180 with H4831sc and 168s to 2860 i know not real fast but scary accurate but at 800 yds they dont beat the saum with 140s so trying to find a use as dont need a...

I would imagine with less pressure would have to move from H1000 for my 168s to sthng a bit faster? i may hit up steve directly get his take. I know I wont get much over my 6.5 saum in velocity or energy but one heck of a hole and penetration for elk moose etc. Not that i will every afford do...

Was thinking about making it a dedicated elk or bigger rifle and keep my 6.5 for deer and lopes

Getting my 6.5 saum ironed out to shoot 140 elites so looking at options for my 280ai for dedicated elk rifle. its 26" benchmark carbon barrel 1:8 wondering if anyone has tried the 172s in it? Though may be an interesting choice

Sweet the rifle I’m getting has a 25” and current load the owner had was 140 elites at 3075 good to hear
