C.O.L. for .280 Remington w/140gr. Accubond

[Guest]

I am very new to reloading so forgive me as I stumble through this. I can't find any information on the suggested c.o.l. for this load. Is there anyone out there who is shooting this load or can give me the c.o.l. for this load? Thanks.

#1 Best accuracy is usually .015 to .030 of the rifling.
#2 There should be at least 1 diameter of the bullets bearing surface
inside the case neck for alignment and neck tension.
#3 The OAL must be short enough to function thru the magazine.
#4 Light for caliber bullets may need to be seated further from the rifling.

I saw in another post that the data for the Partition and AccuBond are interchangeable. Is this correct?

elkslayer35,

I assume that you are refering to load data. Yes, the load data can be used for PT, AB, and BT bullets. Always start low and work up while watching for signs of high pressure.

I have always had great luck working with the Nosler loading manuals (#2,3,4,5) and starting my load development with the most accurate powder they have listed. ie: 280 Rem 140 gr and RL19, 338 RUM 250 gr and RL25.
Seat bullets off the lands as Nosler has suggested or as long as your magizine will allow and you are well on your way to having accurate loads for your rifle.

My 280 shoots best with the COL given in my Nosler Reloading Book.
