Can you PM the loads your using. I plan on using 175SMK's and 2217!!
Fireformed all 60 rounds today, started with max load of 2213sc from ADI for 280Rem, way undercharged!!! Still got to 1040m fine though!!!

Re: New 280AI varminter!
Thanks guys!!
The rifle is winning me over slowly. Gone are the days of muzzle breaks, and I think the 7mm ends up being a nice size for recoil/bug hitter/long range!!
The rifle is heavy.. and it is very pleasent to shoot. Fireformed the brass.. next week load development!!
Stay tuned!!!

Re: New 280AI varminter!
Dayum!!!! Nice rifles mate!!! I really need a longer barrel for my rifle, the 20" barrel in an A-5 just looks weird compared to those two awesome rifles!!!!! Who did the paintwork??
Re: New 280AI varminter!
Nice rifles!
Who did you get to coat the metal work?
Also hows the March scope on the other bit of kit? Better then the S&B you had?
Cheers,
Shane
