[QUOTE="NodakBob, post: 367526, member: 7874"] I shoot a Browning Abolt hunter in .280. 140 grain sierra's were my go-to deer load, cheap and effective. In my older age I want to be able to reach a bit further so I just loaded up a box of Hornandy ELDX 150 gr....haven't had a chance to chrono yet but should be about 2800 fps with my 22" 10:1 barrel. I tried 140 grain Bear Claw for elk...penciled it throught the lungs and went down in 80 yards without a blood trail...and couldn't get a decent group with those (but the host said bring em anyway, it'll be close shooting). Tried 160 gr accubond but too slow with the old reloading books I had (the old books keep the pressure low for the early weak semi autos that were chambered in .280). A new Hornandy book had loads 3 grains higher than the old books. [/QUOTE]
