Thread: 280 Imp max

I have just got this going this weekend.

It was originally a .280 Rem 700 XCR II.



It has the usual goodies, McMillan Hunters Edge stock, light weight firing pin, fluted bolt & factory 24" barrel.



I chucked a 30 cal T2 Terminator brake on it I had lying around & it timed up perfectly, recoil is non-existant.



Initial load development is looking very good with 162s extremely happy at 30-3050 fps, shooting 1/2-3/4 moa in wind strong enough to blow my chrony over

180s aren't showing as much promise yet at 2875-2900 fps, which isn't an issue as this case really suits the 162s with their lack of recoil, especially with a suppressor.

Here it is with 162, 180 beside the 7 Rem Mag.



Considering it isn't even bedded into the stock yet I'm really looking forward to getting it sorted, might even get a suppressor organised for it.
