I can't seem to find the past posting you guys did for me with this QL data ( Nosler brass)? I also don't remember if I had the QL data for the Sierra 160 SBT for the 280? Can anyone help me find it? Thanks.
 
This is run with QL default pressure:

Code:
Cartridge          : .280 Rem.
Bullet             : .284, 160, Sierra SPBT 1920
Useable Case Capaci: 60.903 grain H2O = 3.954 cm³
Cartridge O.A.L. L6: 3.330 inch = 84.58 mm
Barrel Length      : 24.0 inch = 609.6 mm

Predicted Data for Indicated Charges of the Following Powders.
Matching Maximum Pressure: 58000 psi, or 399 MPa
or a maximum loading ratio or filling of 110 %
These calculations refer to your specified settings in QuickLOAD 'Cartridge Dimensions' window.
C A U T I O N : any load listed can result in a powder charge that falls below minimum suggested
loads or exceeds maximum suggested loads as presented in current handloading manuals. Understand
that all of the listed powders can be unsuitable for the given combination of cartridge, bullet
and gun. Actual load order can vary, depending upon lot-to-lot powder and component variations.

I run mine at a higher pressure, though velocities really don't change all that much.

Thanks Doc...I will have to sing a whole litany of songs at your funeral! ha. I was hoping R26 would be shown, I sure had good results in my 270/150 from it. I appreciate everyone's patience with me, I am semi-illiterate when it comes to computers; however, I am a pretty good rifle shot! ha
 
P.S. I was looking for 62-64K, so thanks, no reason to download this cartridge in a good, strong bolt gun!
 
Start warming up your voice. I'm feeling a bit puny today.

RL26 is shown in the previously posted data; it is the first load shown. I tweaked it up to 64k psi.

Cartridge : .280 Rem.
Bullet : .284, 160, Sierra SPBT 1920
Useable Case Capaci: 60.903 grain H2O = 3.954 cm³
Cartridge O.A.L. L6: 3.330 inch = 84.58 mm
Barrel Length : 24.0 inch = 609.6 mm
Powder : Alliant Reloder-26

Predicted data by increasing and decreasing the given charge,
incremented in steps of 2.0% of nominal charge.
CAUTION: Figures exceed maximum and minimum recommended loads !

Thanks Doc...but don't check out on us now! ha I figured I'd start out with the Sierra 160 SBT then work on the 160 Partition. Since I'm having this new action blueprinted, I figure I will get better accuracy with the heavier bullets than I did before. Take an aspirin and lay down awhile..."This too shall pass", ha.

Start warming up your voice. I'm feeling a bit puny today.

RL26 is shown in the previously posted data; it is the first load shown. I tweaked it up to 64k psi.

What I meant was I was glad it was on the list; I just couldn't remember if it was on the list before , but thanks! I really believe that when this new action/bolt face is blueprinted ( squared, cleaned up) that the barrel will shoot the heavyweights much better than before. I say that as when my smith blueprinted the previous action it was on, for the 7mm Rem Mag barrel, he said it was way out of spec ( the action face and bolt face) which would definitely affect the barrel harmonics. Before the .280 barrel was sort of picky as to the heavyweights beyond 168gr.
 
I would be pleased to find both RL26 and RL23. Eventually, they should make it to Canada. For now, I am compelled to focus on other powders.
 
I feel the same way about N560, ha. I don't ever remember seeing any out here. I probably would not have had the 7mm Express barrel made up again if that little Mountain Rifle would have shot well, oh well, it wouldn't be the first skinny barrel rifle that disappointed me, but they sure do carry nice!
