Why would 280 not be a good plinking rifle

I was just told that you'd get maybe 1000 rounds out of a 6.5x284 and then groups would start opening up drastically but that was just what I was told or read and the 7mm calibers can shoot a heavier bullet with higher B.C. I mean the 6.5 s can go heavier but you gotta get some weird bullets and...

I think I'm going with the 280 ai or 7mag I like the 7s and I've never owned one and I'd like to see how they do on critters at around 700yards ish

Well I guess it's not so much the rifle I am asking about it's more of a caliber options and the Creedmoors every one has got one I'd like to be different I suppose

So 280ai vs 6.5x284 it's also gonna be a long range pinking gun and a little bit for deer and antelope not so much for elk I gotta 300 Winnie for that ......good info guys

>Just recently bought a 7mm. Love >it!! I would recommend a >muzzle brake as well. Buy >a good gun and spend >more on good glass. I was thinking about that on a savage LRH and it has a adjustable muzzle break I have a 300 win mag that has a muzzle break and it recoils like a 270 maybe a...

>6.5x284 all day. >6.5's have excellent ballistics and they >just flat out kill stuff. > Again barrel burner?? So I have heard no personal experience I could get a savage and do barrelseaps on the cheap but it's still throwing 300$ at a new barrel I would like one I just don't wanna replace...

>My next rifle will be a >28 Nosler. Will do everything >you mentioned. >Down side is finding ammo at >times. Just reload lol I also heard the Nosler where kind of barrel burners but that also might be hearsay...... enlighten me

So I got the green light to buy a new rifle and I'm not sure what caliber I want a long range (1000 yards max) target rifle but also a hunting rig like it to be lower recoil but still able to reach out light enough to pack heavy enough to target shoot I know it's a lot to ask out of one rifle I...

Yes they do I have had good luck with Boyd?s gunstocks but I would piller bed it and glass bed maybe ??? I have never glass bedded anything so it would be a good learning thing and what would you guys think about like a cerikoat or something

I also fount dies from Hornady and another company for around 80$

The reason for considering a re barrel is caliber I want a 280 ai but I think I will shoot this one out before a re barrel and it will probably be passed down and the double triggers are not efficient but they add to the cool factor any recommendations on stock wood synthetic brands??

I do reload and I have 50 fire formed cases and 50 loaded 06 and from the looks of it I think mine will probably have a 24 inch bbl

It's cool if I throw a new stock on it I suppose the double triggers are just okay and it is fun to shoot I'll prolly keep it and make it shootable and use it for a back up

My local gun smith charged about 600$ for a rebarrel I'm not sure it would be worth it unless it was an unusual caliber like 280 ai or something that is a good caliber while still being odd I hand load so the sky is the limit as far as calibers go I would like a 280ai but I found this one shoots...

So sorry for the long post but I thought I'd start at the beginning.....some time back I bought a Mauser 98 that had been sporterized drilled and tapped for scope and the cool thing was it was a 30-06 what really sold me on it was it had double triggers a are trigger and a fire trigger so I go...

Yeah they will come around I shoot plastic top in almost all my hunting rigs but from the sounds of it the Accubond is the bees knees compared to all other hunting bullets but they use those bullets because they have killed every thing they shot with them and it's not that they don't know what a...

I'll try accubonds and see how they do

LAST EDITED ON Jan-27-19 AT 06:08PM (MST)[p]I really like my Accubond in my 300 and 270 but I was sort of looking for non ballistic tip bullets Accubond are worth a shot but anything with exposed lead I'd like bonded but it doesn't have to be I suppose they just consider ballistic tips as...

LAST EDITED ON Jan-27-19 AT 11:40AM (MST)[p]So I am new to this forum I live in Wyoming and that's why I am posting in the Wyoming section So my wife has a 260 Ruger 77 and I finally convinced her dad to let me reload for it after he saw the accuracy of some other guns I had loaded for and he...
