Hey guys,

For anyone that is interested in this ammo I figured I would share this target. This is literally the first three rounds of this ammo shot through my gun at 100yds!...Stunning!

Its factory ammo. Nosler made this a "factory" round either last year or early this year. They also produce rifles in 280 AI, granted at a hefty price tag.


If you think every possible niche has been filled already, thank a wildcatter!

WOW!!! Now that is accuracy at its best.
A slight change of course, but I bought some Nosler made ammo in 222 Rem Mag that shot extremely well out of two Rem 722's in that chambering. Both rifles, as delivered from the factory 50 years ago with no tweaking, each shot two 1/2", five shot groups the first time I shot the rifles. I bought the rifles second hand.
Nosler has something good going with their ammo! thumb

Fish,

The rifle is a Kenny Jarrett "Coup de Mort" built on a Rem 700 action. I purchased the rifle used for approximately 60% less than the original cost to build it. The only things I have had done to it was to add green splatter to the stock to give it a little color and I also had Jarrett machine a thread protector for the barrel as I don't see any real need for the brake that was on it.

What is the velocity? I hope that they are not loading it down to get that accuracy.

Try to look unimportant. Your enemy might be low on ammo.

Jchart, great rig. I am glad you got such a good deal on it too boot. A great all around set up I'd say.

Congrats!

Nosler ammo shot great in my 257 Roberts. I bought it before I had any loads worked up. I will be loading my own though, too pricey.

Great group. I love my 280 AI in a Sako L61R action. I get great results with 160 gr Accubonds & VV N560 - around 3000 fps with Nosler manual max load.
