Sorry not to have posted a report sooner I really appreciated all the info you guys gave me Thank you again! I developed a load that shut excellent in my 280 mountain rifle with 175 grain nostler accubond bullets, velocity 2600 FPS accuracy 1-in groups at 100 2-in groups at 200 yards. It was...

Thank you for your post 😊 and advice you're right, I have gotten tons of good advice And it's fun to see how many guys are into hand loading and hunting! Yesterday I took three sets on three hand loads to the 100-yard range where I do most of my shooting. My good friend has a new very nice...

Thanks to both of you for your insight and I agree with you three decent shots will tell you if you're on the right track That's what I'm looking for at this point. I like the knowledge I am picking up and seeing on this forum Thanks again I'll let you know how things work out 🙂

So , I 've found since joining the forum and looking for nostler bullets that for some reason not everybody is carrying them but I got a box of Nosler accubond 175 grain boat tails. I loaded up 3 each ( I know you should do five rounds) But as Bkram said, the mountain rifle has a thin barrel...

I think you're correct 😁 Thank you, both are very good calibers! Another week and a half down here in NC for heading home to Vermont probably will be quiet on my end for a little while until I can get home and get working on my reloads

Sure appreciate your input 😲 It all sounds good to me sounds like my 280 will do the job as long as I do my part! Thanks

Thank you grry10🙂

Boy you are so right ! when I first got this gun, I couldn't get better than a 4-in group 🙄 I was pretty upset because I loved your rifle! I got it when it first came out many years ago my I saw an article by a knowledgeable going writer might have been Warren Page? It was all about four and...

Thank you sir 🙂

Great info thank you what I'm seeing is I probably don't need a 175 grain bullet but it'll be fun to play around with it and I just might try that 7828 powder that was suggested 😁

Thank you sir I appreciate all the advice I am hearing! Currently in NC for about another 3 weeks came out of VT January 21st to get out of some of the ice and snow tired of plowing and shoveling 🙄🙂 Vt Had a hard winter this year. They even had snow yesterday 🙄 Again, I appreciate all the advice...

My living room in Vermont (When my kids were small they used to bring Friends in to see the "dead animal room"🙄 LOL

Thank you Bikram I sure appreciate your reply I think you are absolutely correct in your advice and it will be a good hunt. I might try some 175 grain bullets if I can find some loading data just for fun really but if I get a good load then I will probably use it. Every deer I have shot with...

Good morning folks, I have a 280 mountain rifle that I've had for years and it is a great deer and bear rifle. I have hand loaded everything from 140 grain to 160 grain Bullets for it, and can usually get a one to one and a half inch group at 100 yd traveling roughly 2,900 to 3,000 fps. I am...
