Is this a decent round for lr starting out?
LR what? Target or hunting? At what range? What bullet do you intend to use and for what game? The more pertinent information you can provide, the better the yield.Is this a decent round for lr starting out?
I've never killed an elk. Quite a few Alaskan moose. On those large of animals, perhaps 750yds is a more reasonable maximum distance shot with a 280 AI.I have a kimber hunter with a 24in barrell.
Up to elk and moose.
Bullets advised?
Same for me. Very consistent to 1000 at my range and mild recoil for hunting situations.280ai with Berger 168 VLD hunting bullets pushed around 2950 is a pretty solid load. Works on elk very well out to longer ranges
I would think 750 yds is too far for Moose,also unlikely to get a 750 yd shoot in Alaska at a moose!I've never killed an elk. Quite a few Alaskan moose. On those large of animals, perhaps 750yds is a more reasonable maximum distance shot with a 280 AI.
