What's your 280Rem loads?

[wvbuckbuster]

I am the new owner of a 280 Rem. Never owned one before. Have owned 7mm RM and do own 7mm08. Haven't checked for past load data on here just thought I would ask. Will be used for hunting whitetails here in WV and banging some plates at the range occasionally. So, what do you guys like to load in your 280?

140 Ballistic Tips over RE-19.

Runs about 3050 from a 24" barrel, but I am at 4500 feet.

My favorite deer load is a 140 BBC with RL26 in my old M725 280 Remington. The 140 Sierra SBT is good as well. That load is good for 3100.

In my M7600 I use the 145 LRX with H4831SC. That load is a 2975 and very accurate as well.

280’s a good one. Which rifle did you get?

Bought Gregory B's Ruger No 1. Really nice guy and a pretty rifle.

Lots of information here. Got some 139,140,150gr bullets to try on hand along with IMR & H 4831, RL19. Saw where Hornady lists Win SB6.5 in their data. Plenty to start with. Thanks.
