Author Topic: Any loads for 280AI (Read 701 times)

I had my Encore converted to 280AI and I am in the process of fireforming. After I am done, I plan on developing loads for the 140gr Nosler Btip, 150gr Swift Scirrocco, and 160gr Nosler Accubond.

I have many load manuals but no info with R19 except for some I found on the net. Please, firsthand info only. I will reduce and work up.

Any pet loads or other info not commonly found in the manuals is appreciated.

Thanks,
Kyle

Kyle,

I have 2 verry accurate loads for the 280AI with 140 b-tips and 160 Sierra game kings. I am working with a 25" 1:9 twist barrel. I am at work right now and don't recall them off the top of my head, but I'll e-mail them you tonight when I get home.

Hi Kyle,

Here they are:

140g Nos B-tip
57.5 IMR 4350
WLMR Primers
Remington Brass
Bullets seated .004 from the lands

160g Sierra Game Kings
54.0 IMR 4350
WLMR Primers
Remington Brass
Bullets seated .004 off the lands

I am a big fan of Hodgon H4350 and tried it, but for some reason the IMR grouped much, much better. The 140g B-tip will do a under 1/2 inch 5 shot group @100 yards and the 160 GK with print a 5 shot group just over a half inch. I also tried RL19 but could not get a decent group.

I hope this helps
