Happy birthday. Hope it was a good one.
Or are you like me and it's just that our eyes are getting worse so we think we look better!
Happy birthday guys!
At my age, I try to avoid them. Only problem is that nasty option when you don't have them any more ;(

Happy belated birthday Charlie. The boys and I have been up deer hunting since the 6th. No internet up at the cabin. The hunting was a little poorer than past years. Our food crops died for lack of rain. We have been in the process of moving all summer except when we went to Africa. We finally got our old house cleared out on the 4th of November and headed up to the cabin on the 5th. Did you get a reloading press for your birthday?? If not Christmas is coming up.
We are planning to be in K.C. the weekend of the SCI Exhibit in January. Maybe we can sneak in a little range time Saturday morning and go to the Exhibit in the afternoon.

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.

2,822fps, ES 8.2
This compares favorably to 7 Rem Mag. with less powder & recoil.

I know that this thread is more than a year old but as a new member I thought I would pass along my .280AI loading.
I am shooting F Open long range rather than hunting but here is what is working for me and I have managed a 198.14 at 800 meters.
That is for 20 shots. The 14 are X's which is a 5" circle.

Have twice tried to post something that your site canned as "SPAM" or some problem.. "Contact the Administrator"... Not sure why even the "Contact" button would not send my comment so you only received my query but not the content in question. I'll see if I can get it to you this way... NOPE I use a VPN and perhaps that is causing me grief...
