My wifes late cow elk hunt ends this Thursday and that will basically end Big Game season for my for the year - at least with the 280 AI, so it will be time to start some load work.
I picked up dies and Nosler brass today, 140 accbonds on order, and an unopend cannister of Re 26 ready to roll. Plan on using CCI 250 Primers with a revised goal of finding safe and consistent accuracy in the 3250 FPS range...
At 5000 feet elevation, with a 200 yard zero, that's translates to only 14.9" of drop and close to 2100 FPE at 400 yards and 29.5" of drop and 1900 FPE at 500 yards....While numbers don't matter much in a hunting scenario, that still pretty awesome performance in a non magnum.
