[QUOTE="26Reload, post: 1265635, member: 99519"] Hey Guys thanks for the info about those sites....i have actually talked to a guy that test fired this particular rifle....he wanted it....but then there are several that go thru his hands that he would like to keep.... I've been reloading metallics for about ten years..Dont have a problem working things up but i am curious to see what many of you have come up with so that I can compare personal results and get a real feel for the shooter/hunter....no just a paper showing what a factory has come up with as conclusion.... I have a new to me 280ai that I worked up loads for...wasn't the load I had to deal with...It is a noodle barrel...and with a little research i read some guy built alot of noodle barrel mountain rifles and he bedded them from back of receiver to front of stock....well I did three spots..very back of receiver, the lug and the last two inches of the stock....not only did it cut down the 100yd spread...but with subtracting the bullet diameter it became a three shot sub/half minute rifle with 145gr LRX... and I did the same with my son's 25/06..and it also became a sub/half minute with 115gr Bergers..... So finding what a few others consider their go to loads will should help me find what I am looking for as to powder, bullet, and fps....I don't plan on hot loads....i bought this rifle to give my handicapped wife a chance at those bucks that are just beyond her 260 remingtons reach...she has killed an elk at 300yds with her 7mm wsm...and a buck at 325 with her 260remington ruger compact.....i know the 7mm would reach out some further...but I also like the thought of the bcs of the 6.5.... Again thanks for the replies....you shooters and this site are an avalanche of information... I also purchased a Knight Ultralite .50 mzldr....I am having lots of fun shooting it too.... If I can get a coyote to hold still at 250yds I am confident I can put a hole thru it with my homemade 388gr lead paperpatched bullets....and it gives me the incentive to hunt every general season...rifle and then later mzldr......I want to shoot a buck with it badly.....but i will take a coyote..... Thanks again [/QUOTE]
