Finally got to break in my new 280AI yesterday. Its a 111 converted to blind mag, 24in Cbi light varmint barrel, rifle basix trigger, choate tactical stock.
Used Nosler 280AI brass...which is NOT ready to load as claimed on the box! Cases mouths were all dinged up, I wasnt over impressed with that aspect of them.
Loaded up a range of charges from 56- 57.5gr of IMR 4831 with 140gr Sierra GK, seated at factory length.
I wasnt pushing anything but velocities ranged in the 2800-2900 range, but it seems my velocities are a bit slower when I shoot these bullets in anything I run them through so....
Heres a couple pics I snapped...I could only shoot at 50yds where I was at, I think theres some promise in this rifle


There are 7 and 8 shots in these groups
