It would be very easy to just buy a 25-06 or a 270 and send it off to JES to get rebored to .280. It will cost 250 I believe. I had him bore a 35 whelen from a 30-06 and it shoots awesome groups.
This not a bad idea at all. Now I just need to know who JES is and how to contact them/him.

Great looking rifles Twins. I sure wist there were more of them floating around. Dog Down you ask me if had loaded any of the brass you sent me and I have loaded it but not made it to the range. Twins I am glad to hear your gun likes the 165s. I have loaded 168 Berger HVLD to try in my WSM looking forward to trying them soon.

That would be most generous of you. If you can I will gladly pay the shipping and pay you for the brass.

Eric I did try a 165 and had one decent group with them. This gun is going to be a deer rifle onlym,and I live in East Tn so long shots are not likely. If all else fails I will try some 168 bergers that I have. But if I can get the 150 Barnes to shoot that will be my deer load.

Well I made it to the range today and I am pleased with the way my rifle shot. I don't have any pictures but my best group with the Barnes 150gr TTSX was probably an inch and an 1/8 at 120 yards. and I am sure I can get that to tighten up with a little more tweeting on the load. You guys are right these Tikka rifles will shoot.
