Hey Jim would you mind sharing your load data for your 280ai? I am also interested in the velocity and your barrel length.

Follow up

Did you go immediately to the CX, or did you try others?

Did you "season " the barrel before doing your load development?

Thanks

I did no barrel break in. Shoots insanely well. I’m taking it on my caribou hunt next week.

I tried a few bullets and all of them shot well but the CX was slightly better.

Jim if you stop off for any amount of time (layover) in Ketchikan, hit me up. I’d enjoy showing you around my neck of the woods.
