Guest bigbuck Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 i just recently purchased a pro hunter in the .280 rem caliber and i would like to know if there are some recommended bullets (off the counter) grains and brand to shoot through this gun using mainly for deer hunting in the Oklahoma/Kansas area? thanks for the insight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tecumseh Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 My girlfriend just recently got a Weatherby mark V in a 280 remington.we ran some federal 140gr nosler accubond through it while breaking in the barrel and they shot great through it.We're going to try the 160gr loads when we get time.Excellent round.

texastrophies Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 I have a Rem. 700 in .280 and shoot Rem. ammo. out of it. Normally shoot the PSP Core lokt in 150 gr. and get a pretty reliable pattern out of it. Recently switched to the 165 gr. SP Core Lokt and after doing a little shooting with it, the target looked like I was using a shotgun, no consistent pattern at all. Find what your gun likes and stick with it.

EKYhunter Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 i just recently purchased a pro hunter in the .280 rem caliber and i would like to know if there are some recommended bullets (off the counter) grains and brand to shoot through this gun using mainly for deer hunting in the Oklahoma/Kansas area? thanks for the insight Please let me know how your pro hunter barrel performs. I've got an Encore MZ and purchased a 20 gauge barrel to turkey hunt with. I'm considering a .280 barrel for deer hunting. I'm looking at the pro hunter barrel, the fox ridge TC custom barrel, and the EABCO accuracy barrel. I like the 28" length on the pro hunter and am curious to know how yours shoots. Thanks!

Ripper Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 I shoot a TC Encore in .280 and really like it. I have tried many makes of ammo and I have chosen Remington AccuTip 140 gr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
