Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Elk loads for a .280 Rem and 30-06.

30-06 168 tsx full penetration on broadside shot, ran 50 yards and tipped over. H-4350 works great in that combo.

150g TSX over 54.5 grains of RL-22. At 2900fps from my .280 Rem. it sure builds confidence.

I have used that same bullet in a 280 with max charge of 7828 fed 210 primer , very accurate and very effective on ELk.

started out as an old 280 rem i bought in the 80's felt it was past due to a little tlc and sent it over to Chris Matthews of Long Shot Rifles had the action trued and blued, installed a Replacement bolt fron Tubb with all the extras, kreiger 8.5 twist at 26-inches, had all the metal coated in IonBond (moves like slick glass) all bedded into an AICS 2.0 chassis

on the loads i run lapua 30-06 brass fireformed to 280, i use quickload running at a Pmax of 65,000psi for load development
