Since there isnt much load data for the 280 and I am sure some of us on the hide shoot this caliber, I thought maybe everyone could post their load data with barrel make and twist here to help others.

Tornado, how long is that barrel.
280 info is scarce around here it seems. Thanks for starting this thread.

Just received Remington brass, 162 and 168[MK]. Have 210m primers.
Only need a powder. 25" 9 twist.

What OAL are you guys running with the 162 / 168 bullets?
Plenty of room for these in the Remington BDL.

I have a 100 count box in each of the 175 and 180 gr. SMKs that I'm going to try in my 280. Does anyone have load data for these? I also contacted Sierra and asked if the 9 twist will be enough to stabilize both bullets and was told yes and maybe enough for the 183 gr. SMK too.

QL 280 rem please
I've got a custom shop 700 in a 280 remington with a 24" tube. If someone could please run it at max 270 pressures, with the 150g ballistic tip and 162g Amax with all powders, that would be awesome. Reason I ask at 270 pressures is because the 280 is historically down loaded to the...
