280 Loads

[THE SWEDE]

Im the new owner of a 280.Any thoughts on were to start.Think 140 grain bullets again.Thanks

if I owned one and wanted to hunt deer, Id load 140 gr Nosler Accubonds, probably trying H4831sc first, or RL19.

if I used it to hunt moose and elk, 150 gr Barnes TSX over the same powders

a do-all load, the TSX or a 160 gr Accubond

Swede,try 57gr. of RL-19,140 gr.Accubond,and 210GM primers.THIS IS A MAX LOAD!!!!,so work up.56 0r 57 grs.should get you into 3/4" at 100!It's doing that or better in my 22"Mountain rifle!(The load is from the Nosler reloading forum).Keep me posted,good luck,Gunner

For my latest "truck gun" (ANOTHER 7-08) load development began and ended with the 140gr TSX. Can't ask for a better bullet, love'm in my 280AI and 7-08AI also.... try 'em, you'll not be disappointed in the accuracy or terminal performance dept.

Stonechaser,I'm trying the 120gr.TSX now,but haven't finalized a load yet.I don't have a chrony but it should zip right along.I sure wish they would make a 130 TSX in 7mm!Cheers,Gunner

My old Ruger 280 No1V loved the 150 Nosler Partition and 53.5 grains of H4831
