New .280A!

[Monashee]

Well I have comleted my .280AI,and have 100 Nosler .280AI cases sitting in front of me!Any thoughts from any one on loads?I'm thinking Rl-22,and the bullets of choise will be 140 and 160gr Accubonds.What do you think? Monashee. :grin:

Monashee,

You are going to love the 280AI. RL22 is a great powder to use with either the 140 gr or 160 gr AB's.
Here is my 140 gr AB load:

Here is my 160 gr AB load:

Also have a good load for the 120 gr BT:

Hey JD338,what's you COL?

 

[JD338]

Monashee,

COL is 3.482" for the 140 gr, 160 gr AB's and 3.387" for the 120 gr BT.

That kind of accuracy just has to make a guy grin all over :grin: Maybe I should go the AI way with the 7m-08?

Long,

:grin:

I'm looking forward to getting this rifle back from the gunsmith. I am having the rifle bedded into a pillar bedded LSS stock.

If I can break .200", you will see a glow comming from your south east!

what can a guy buy for 49 cents?
I would gladly purchase a loaded 280 Ai cartrige, one 7mm bullet, a dime and your laod data for 49 cents. :lol: :lol: :lol:
nice shooting.

If you don't get the vel./accuracy you want w/ RL22, give IMR7828 a try. It has been THE powder for me in my .280 w/ 145gr-160gr bullets. My .280 just doesn't care for RL22.

 

[Monashee]

According to my OAL gauge,my chamber will only allow 3.412",so I'm going to set the bullet back to 3.402" and start from there! Monashee (quite a difference in chamber length from yours!)

You know, this is a sin to share this info, for all of us who load and shoot this cartridge, well, we are the "chosen few" of riflemen!

Now, don't say anything about 7mm-08.
