I load for my 280AI, I use 215M's with retumbo powder and use 210M's for 4350 & 4831SC and H1000 powders.

Re: 280 Ackley Improved loads Your advice was spot on, am going with the exact accubond load you posted. Thank you so much for the advice.

Re: 280 Ackley Improved loads Loaded up some H4831SC last night and hit the range, also used F210M primers. Someone suggested I make my zero at 300 yards as the bergers don't stabilize until farther out. My best group of 4 shots were all in a 6" target, not happy at all. They were pushing...

Re: 280 Ackley Improved loads I just might have to go find some Vit N165

I have a custom 280AI, it has a 26" douglas barrel, 1-9 twist, 700ADL action, jewell trigger. I am shooting 168gr bergers. I can't quite get a very good group at 200 yards. I have tried H4831SC, H1000 and MagPro. Any input that might help me out.?

Re: 280AI-bullet & powder advice For what little I was able to try out my gun, the H4831SC with winchester large rifle primers and 140gr accubonds were pretty awesome. Then I moved up to the 162gr amaxes with H1000 and at 200 yards I could cover a 4 shot group with a quarter. I hear alot...

Re: 280AI-bullet & powder advice My problem is I have to pretty much find one load and use it for everything as I don't have the money to buy different powders and bullets, I am disabled and it just might be from here on out all I can do is target shoot. Hiking up the hills is not in the...

Re: 280AI-bullet & powder advice I would like to find a load that does both if thats possible??? I am not sure of my hunting as I am now disabled, bought a license and tag this year and didn't even get to go as the mind said go but the back said oh no your not going anywhere. Alot of people...

Re: 280AI-bullet & powder advice I never used H4831SC for the 162gr A-Maxes, but did get good results from H1000, at 200 yards a quarter would cover 4 shots, speed wise I was getting about 2950fps. I get nervous when I hear people say those bullets are not any good for hunting. I have not...

Re: 280AI-bullet & powder advice Am not sure what part of the country your in, I am in Boise, Idaho. Generally I do most of my load workup in the early mornings during summer time and then when it heats up and the wind start whipping out in the desert I come home. Or if the military runs me...

Re: 280AI-bullet & powder advice Thank you guys for all the info, that is going to help me a ton.

I have a custom 280AI, it has a 26" douglas barrel with 1-9 twist. I have been trying to decide on which bullet and powder combination to use. I have tried the following: 140gr accubond with H4831SC 162gr A-Max with H1000 Some have suggested 154gr hornady SST's Some have also suggested 168gr...

Re: Temperature Stable Powder Test!! Its been a while since I played around with magpro powder, but if I remember right isn't it considered a ball powder?? I am shooting a 280AI, I have only shot the gun a couple times and have only used H4831SC and have only tried 140gr accubonds, but am...

Re: 2 sided question- 280AI & powders Thanks guys. I grew up on the Oregon coast and use to shoot a 7mm, this was long before the short mags or the ultra mags. My friends father was a reloader and his pet load for the 7mm was a hornady 162 BTSP, 67gr IMR 4831 and CCI large rifle magnum...

I got rid of my 300RUM for health reasons and fell into a sweet deal on a cutom 280 AI, it came with some brass and a set of Lee dies. For some reason the re-sizer die is scratching the heck out of my cases so that gives me a good excuse to get the redding dies I want. If anyone has any good...

Re: 300 saum loads please My personal opinion is the bullets you are wanting to shoot are a tad too heavy for the 300SAUM, now if you were shooting the 300 WSM that would be a different story. The heaviest I would shoot is 175-180, but they really like 150-168 bullets. Varget powder is a...

Re: .300 rum I can attest to barrel life, I got about 1200 rounds outta mine and my barrel is toast. I have a quote from Kirby about rechambering it to a 338 edge. But I think I am going to stay with the 300RUM and move up to a 28-30 inch barrel. I have a great load so I just need to come...
