I have a H S Precision SPL chamber in 280 AI with a Leupold VX6 3-18x44 scope I have worked up a very accurate load 150gr H ELD-X, 59.0gr IMR 4831, Fed. 210M, and Nosler Brass. Velocity has been verified with an Oehler at 3096fps and a LabRadar at 3114fps It's zeroed at 200 yards, dial up 300...
A friend of mine just bought a Fierce Carbon Fury in 6.5 CM. The round they verified to 1000 yards was 147 gr ELD Match factory ammunition. He's a little concerned about using this as a hunting round, have any of you guys taken any big game animals with this round? Thanks for any comments.
I have both and I like Pro Hunt much better because of locking feature and the ease of changing leg lengths. Both Javelin bipods are great, easy to attach and lightweight.
I have 3 sets of Harris Swivel bipods with the pod lock they work very well but I don't like that they are heavy and dig into your shoulder while hunting. Two years ago I bought my first Javelin bipod and I like them much better because they are made of carbon fiber and they attach to a swivel...
I own several Harris bipeds but my favorite lately has been Javelin Pro Hunter. It doesn’t stay on permanently, it replaces swivel stud and is held by a magnet. You put it on when you’re ready to shoot, made of very lightweight carbon fiber.
I have shot 200gr Barnes LRX with 104 gr H Retumbo @ 3200fps in the past. Shooting past 500 yards my groups would open up, so I tried 220gr H ELD-X with 103gr H Retumbo @ 3140 and shot very well past 500 yards. So you might want to give them a try. Keep watching Midway USA I caught Norma brass...
