Hornady ELDM's should be available and shoot shoot well at longer distances.

already have dies and brass . that's why i'm not doing a 280 rem dye243 . a wider selection of 7mm projectiles i know , but i'm set up for 270 win and 130's have really good ballistics .

140gr Berger VLD Hunter would be my pic but currently unavailable

Cheap and usually in stock at rebels ... Speer make the same pill in 100 grains as well

The reason I stuck with another 260 i still had competition loading dies cost a fortune had heaps of cases and projectiles to start off with .
just be careful with the accubond long-range projectile as they are very long for Calibre and generally need a quicker Twist in the heavier pill.
That and they are very soft in the jacket if you stumble across something at 30 to 50 yards and Let Rip better be a soft spot if it is a stout animal like a scrub Bull or whatever being up in Queensland .

Sad situation

Standing by for incoming.

Rebel’s had some very non aerodynamic looking 150 grain round nose smellier bellot pills cheap so I grabbed a pack of them to so I’ll be ready to take on a mammoth boar if one shows up ....
