For the 280 reloaders
« on: January 19, 2010, 05:05:36 AM »
For you guys that are reloading for the 280 Remington.  What is the lightest bullet you have gotten to group good at 100yds/ 3 shots? I'm not talking about 1-2" groups.  I would like to hear from the 3/4" or better results. I want one of these barrels bad.  I have experience in reloading with break barrels and know that the deeper throats can cause issues with the lighter bullets.
It's all a hot mess...........

I just started reloading the 280 and love it.  Right now I am using 150 grain bullets, but my grouping right of the box was 5 shots touching at 100yrds.  Hope to do better.  Load for the 25-06 and all but shoots in the same hole.  Love the ecores

I am using 115 grain Combine Technolgy bullets.  Using I think 51 grains of IMR 4350.  I think to powder is right.  It is one grain over what nosler says is max
