Could I please get a Quickload estimate on this setup:

Nosler 280AI
Nosler Brass
Fed215GM
OAL 3.33
Norma MRP Powder
27" barrel
150LRAB
 
I capped it at 62K, obviously, there should be more room but gives you some rough numbers

Cartridge : .280 Ack Imp
Bullet : .284, 150, Nosler AccuBond LR 58734
Useable Case Capaci: 65.284 grain H2O = 4.239 cm³
Cartridge O.A.L. L6: 3.330 inch = 84.58 mm
Barrel Length : 27.0 inch = 685.8 mm
Powder : Norma MRP

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 !

MRP looks pretty good, similar to RL22.
I am getting just north of 3100 fps from a 24" barrel with RL22.

JD338
 
The 27" barrel look to be better served probably with RL 26 but will test both.
