super T Campfire Regular S Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 2,744 California/Utah	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.

Mr.Nosler’s favorite too. I like both of mine. Loves the 140 AB’s. "I never thought I'd live to see the day that a U.S. president would raise an army to invade his own country." Robert E. Lee

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.

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. Bb
