Steve-
I have a 300 win mag barrel too but its got a Defensive Edge brake on it. Its a kitten compared to the 280. Weird as that may or may not sound.

Miles-
I bought the GMX bullets because they say they will stay together. I think the other ones they say will come apart like that.

Nice. I've been thinking about a brake myself. Our 300 mags hurt. How much was your brake and who did it, Bellem ?

[jackelope]

If I remember correctly the brake was $80.00 then install it... I think I paid 160 or 180 all up.

A guy over here did it. I wont recommend him.  I think he's not even in business any more.
Bellm will do it.

I'll have my buddy do it. Thanks. Oh, mines a bull barrel. Yours?

[jackelope]

Yes.

[Miles]

Nice.  I wish they offered the GMX bullets in factory ammo for the swede

[KFhunter]

if nothing else you could smell the rounds, they definatly smell different

I swear by them, used them when they were "light Magnums".  You have to use the right bullet for what you want.

SST = Balisttic Tip = Blows big holes, bullets come apart
GMX = Solid Bullets = complete pass throughs, bullets don't expand very much, need high velocities to mushroom, wont come apart
Interbond = Bonded Bullet = not as much damage as SST's, bigger wound channel than GMX's, mushrooms at lower velocities and stays together.

Taken two elk and several deer with them in .30-06 and .308.  Great round and almost the only thing I use now for hunting.

More kick than a standard round but still very tolerable with a recoil pad.

Josh your a sissy ! the .280 recoil wasn't bad , But that 7mm barrell pounded me . Did you ever do a trigger job on her ? I put a brake on my 6.5x284 along with carrying 13 pounds on her back she feels like a .223. BTW I sold the 338wm I got from you to help fund the project but that was a cool gun and with a 30.378 i just couldn't justify it sittting in my safe .
