Yeah, I would depart the scene for sure, hurriedly.


I have been shooting the factory Nosler 280AI 140gr AccuBond ammo and it is slightly over 3200fps out of my 26" barrel, I have been trying to figure out how to replicate that load except using the 140gr VLD-H.

This thread has the relevant data I have found, just wondering how many of y'all are having success hitting that 3200fps mark?

I should have mentioned that I finally found some more VV N165 in stock and no longer have to be stingy with the little I had. I have seen Tim in TN and 280Ackleyrized posts on the subject, so I know where to begin.
