3150 with a 168 Berger. No pressure in my gun. SD was 5.5

I did the same. Last week I FF 100 rounds of Remington 280. Changed powder to RL 26 and RL 23. 26 gave blistering speeds and low numbers near max. 23 was very stable with mid 2900's. sd & es are acceptable now. All with 162 eldx and berger 168.

Krob95, Just checking to see if you have made ant headway with your Ackley in regards to high numbers. I made some improvements in the recent past (yesterday) with mine. Accuracy is yet to be fine tuned, but my numbers went down.

Krob, I weight sorted 150 pieces and lost over 30 due to that I annealed them again. No luck. I went to RL26 had some luck there, but not good enough to keep shooting it. I ordered 300 pieces of Remington brass and will FF that. It really can't get worse.

Krob95, A few weeks ago you had asked me about the performance of Peterson brass, my response was limited due to not having spent a great deal of time with it. Since that time I have spent a great deal of time, over a week with my .280AI and Peterson brass. I started with a basic load just to...

Sorry for the slow response, was out of town hunting. I have not noticed pressure signs using Peterson. In my .260 I used the same H4350 charge with 136L Scenars. I did get about 60 FPS with the same charge and 1/4 inch better accuracy, but that part is probably me. With my .280AI I am only...

I use Peterson Brass in my .260 and my .280 AI. I do get good numbers for the most part. I say most part as I am sure if I things aren't consistent, it is my fault. It is very solid brass and takes pressure well.

Closing the thread. Thanks for the responses

Want to buy NF SHV with IHR reticle 5x20. Do not care if it is illuminated or not. Please send a PM.

Sorry sir, the last ones have been spoken for. I will close the thread.

Or, I will trade for 500 Berger 130's straight up. I need to move these but will not give them away.

Go to the NF site and look under discontinued models, they should have it. If not; call them they are very helpful.
