No, not yet. I plan to load up some of the 150 NBTs and shoot at longer range soon. Have to get it zeroed for a hunt in a few weeks. That was just testing a few loads after bore sighting.

I have a shotgun so I have no need for a 30-06.....

i'd probably use my ridgeline a lot more if it was chambered in 280 AI instead of 28 Nosler

Handloading can fix that.

280AI may be my favorite cartridge.
Close enough to the 7RM for everything I do.

I have two .280AI and I am sold on them. One is a pre-64 Winchester that Brown Precision put together for me. With it, I have killed nine bull elk using Nosler's 160-grain Partition. A couple were DRT, none went more than a few yards. However, I wouldn't be a bit surprised to learn that the Nosler 150-grain BT would have been just as effective.

Close enough to the 7RM for everything I do. Mr.Nosler’s favorite too. I like both of mine. Loves the 140 AB’s.

Nice. That 150BT is a favorite. Mine too, I’ve killed a pile of critters with them at slightly slower speeds in my 7RMs.

Just hunting deer and hogs with it for now, but hope to take it for bigger game at some point. I’ve used the 160AB on elk in 7RM, so may go that route if I chase them again.

You didn't by chance by that rifle from me did you. I sold mine not too long ago and shipped it to your state I think. Mine shot really well even with fireforming loads. The load I settled on was a 168g ablr over h1000. I went just under 2900 and 1/2 moa.
