OK all, I know these are very close in all applications, especially if they both have 24" and with magic powders like R26. I am looking for a possible build. I currently have a 280 rem and its a take driver, but I'm looking for a lighter rifle and a little more barrel. I could fireform all my...

Thanks Dr.Mike! It looks like R23 could and should do well.

Ruger Hawkeye 280 rem 140 partition 150 accubond/BT 154 Interbond 160 accubond Winchester brass If you could run it at higher pressures, closer to 270 win tang that would be awesome. Powder Reloder 23 Thanks a bunch

Thanks all for the Imput and the Quicload, looks like R16 or the R17 I currently have is the ticket, it has worked awesome with the 125 pt in 120 BT in a couple 260s, I guess the new one will get the same (y)

Which powder and why? I have 140 partitions, 154 Interbonds and 160 accubond. Thanks

I guess it’s not a good option, thanks

The 270 win and the 140s are a perfect match, we’ve been using the 140 accubond and R19 for years with great accuracy and have had wonderful success on deer and elk.

I hear amazing results with Big Game powder and the 7-08, how would it do with the 260 Rem and the 120 BT, 125 PT, 130 Accubond and the 140 BT? thanks in advance.

In my last 280 the 162 eldx bullets would not group consistently, one season I thought I had it, then I’d try it again and it was all over the place, but the 150 BT where always spot on, so I gave up on them. I grew very frustrated with them. Hope that answers your questions..

Would you shoot this bullet at elk? I know a lot of folks have used these types of bullets for hunting. It would be fired from a 280 rem. Tried the 162 ELDX and wasn't impressed. thanks

I'm looking for a new powder or backup powders for the following calibers.. 260 Rem 270 Win 7mm-08 280 Rem I currently use R17 in the 260 and 7mm-08, R19 and R26 in the 270 and 280. Locally I can get Big Game, R16, StaBall 6.5, R22 and R23. I know R22 is a great powder in the 270 and 280, and...

Thanks Dr.Mike, remingtonman and SJB358! I truly appreciate it. Now it's time to get to work loading up some ammo and testing.

thanks again! R17 looks pretty good as well, I do have a bunch of it. I've loved it in the 260 and 7-08.

that's sweet! thanks Scotty-This will be my elk rifle and back up deer gun.

would someone be kind enough to run a QL for a 280 rem ruger hawkeyre 22" barrel? If possible run it at or near the 270 win pressures. Bullets I currently have are 140 partition, 140 BT and 160 Accubonds. Powders will be R26, Magpro, or R19, maybe R22. thanks in advance. Randy

thanks everyone for the replies, I truly appreciate it. I had a 280 for a short while, while it was a beautiful gun to look it, it didn't shoot as well as I would have liked. It shoot good, but I wanted more than looks, I'm a snob I guess. thanks again.

Does anyone have any experience with this caliber in this particular rifle? I had a 260 that was a real good shooter, but I let my brother take it from my hands. This caliber just keeps me intrigued, I'd love a 280 AI but I can't afford a custom and the others our there haven't gotten me to...

All you Model 70 experts, I need your advice, What is the proper stock/action screw torque? It's a featherweight, wood stock with factory bedding. Thanks
