Anyone have a pet load for 140 grain etip?
280 AI load data
- Thread starter timberdude
- Start date
I will in about a month :lol: I would give RL-22 a shot. Does real well with every other bullet I have shot out of mine. Just remember that a mid range load for a normal bullet will be a max load for a ET, so start low and work up.
If you find something that works before the next month please do share!

Welcome to the forum.
RL 22 and IMR 4831 are two excellent powders to look at in the 280 AI. Keep in mind that the E-Tip has a long bearing surface and pressures spike quickly. Use the mid load data as your MAX load when using the E-Tip. COL is important for best accuracy, seat the bullets .100" off the lands.
