[crystalgayleguy]

What brand of brass and will just sell the brass and dies separately

 

[TX mountain hunter]

Nosler custom brass. I would be willing to part with that as soon as the rifle sells if the buyer is not interested.

 

[TX mountain hunter]

$900 to your FFL

I am not very smart. Is this a 280 AI or 6.5, or is it some kind of wildcat?

 

[TX mountain hunter]

What stock?!

 

[TX mountain hunter]

What stock?!

Started as the factory Remington 700 stock and got a paint job to match the NM desert.

 

[fmuguira]

Think of it as a 6.5-06 AI with a longer neck and not requiring fire forming of brass.

A number of friends have them and it's a heck of a cartridge. Good Luck with the sale.

 

[Closetohome]

Great caliber...I am going to try the same with 25 cal at some point.

 

[fmuguira]

A couple of those same guys also have in 25 caliber. 8 twist barrels and shooting 131 to 134 gr high bc; Berger, Hornady, Blackjack (Sierra).

Do about 3200 fps in 26-37" barrels. Nearly 257 Weatherby performance with 15 grs less powder and WAY less expensive brass options. You ll like it!

 

[fmuguira]

26-27" barrels; whoops !!
