280 AI Favorite Loads

[vodekz]

I should get my 280AI this week!!!! and I need your help to get nice loads for 140AB, 160 AB and 150 BT. Any loads with RL-22? N560? H1000?

Thank you, Wlodek

RL 22 is the powder for the 280 AI.

140 gr AB
63.0 grs RL 22
MV 3200 fps

160 gr AB
60.0 grs RL 22
MV 3000 fps

Well under MOA accuracy.
Work up.

Of the powders you listed RL-22 has worked great for me with the 140 BT, and 160 AB. 7828 also worked very well with the 160 AB, and RL-17 worked great with the 140 BT.

RL-17 has similar burning rate as H4350. What was your charge with 140 AB?

I've had great luck in my 280 Ack. Imp. using IMR 7828 and a 175 NP for the big stuff; IMR 4831 and a Nosler 150 BT for medium game.

I second Kurt! Looking forward to hearing how your 280 shoots. Very sexy looking cartridge! Scotty
