Thanks @DrMike I really appreciate it!

Sorry I just realized I didn't put that 168gr accubond long range

If it's not too much trouble Dr Mike could you run me a quick load for me? 280 ai 24" 1-9 twist Peterson brass 168gr accubond long range bullet Federal gold medal match Magnum rifle primers I'd be looking for Vihtavouri n565, Ramshot Magnum and also H4831SC if you get a chance I'd really...

I was able to pick up some N565 and ramshot Magnum from the store so I have 3 powders to experiment with and work up a load! Happy Thanksgiving all!

Annealing or no annealing why and why not? Let me know

Yeah I have actually learned quite a bit about ballistics before even considering reloading, I was a firearm salesman at a local store and we had a guy who at the time did a lot of long range shooting and I learned a ton from him as well as from my own research!

Well that doesn't sound good, I still might try it but I definitely won't be thinking I'm going to get the performance it was saying I guess thanks!

I've seen a lot of your other posts and seen how much you use it on other forums that's what initially made me think about it

One more question I keep seeing quickload on here in different forums how does that work and is it a good tool to look into to purchase?

Nope no Greek detected lol, I appreciate it and thanks for the input I may see if I can find the N560 and N565 at a local store and see if I can find some Ramshot Magnum then I will have multiple different options for powders to start testing with and find what I like!

I'm also very curious about the Vihtavouri powders N565 N560 N165 but don't seem to hear much about them, also just going to keep my fingers crossed to magically fall upon some RL26 since everywhere I look that seems to be the Holy Grail powder for the 280ai lol

Anyone have any luck or try Ramshot Magnum? According to the Hodgdon reloading app they have on their website that's supposed to provide the highest velocities in their lineup for the 280ai

Well I guess I kinda misspoke mine is spiral fluted I just meant it's a steel barrel and none of it is carbon fiber

Yeah even with a full steel barrel it is around 7 pounds with no optic.

Awesome thanks JD

JD i was curious what length barrel do you have on your 280ai?

That is the exact one I plan to get

Hey Gerry I appreciate it i actually have a custom rifle that I got built by Pierce Engineering in Lansing Michigan, it has their lightweight Shadow action and a Mullerworks cut rifled barrel and an AG composite carbon fiber stock shot some factory Nosler 140 accubonds through it and the biggest...

Thank you I appreciate all of the advice, I have had all of the equipment since last Christmas so I have been reading and researching since then to learn as much as possible now it's just about getting hands on with all of the learning I've done and get it figured out! Thanks again!

That's the plan luckily we have a close friend who has reloaded for years so he is gonna give me a couple lessons before I really get out on my own but it's nice that I have all of the components now!
