Anyone have the 5th edition sierra reloading manaual? Look in the .280 section ( page 451). This lady made a 350yrd. shot on a 6x6 with a 160gr. bullet loaded with 56gr. of H4831. That would put the velocity at just over 2700fps and energy around 2600ft.lbs. With a 150gr. bullet and IMR-4350 it will give you 2900fps and 2800ft.lbs. of energy. A shooter with skill could make a 500yrd. shot with that bullet. I think I could make that shot, but would I try? Best I can tell its not really anyones business. Every hunter has that decision to make.
