Hey all,
Does anyone have load data for .280AI using 150gr TTSX bullets? I've heard mention 59gr of RL19 with this bullet, but I haven't seen much published with weights in between 140gr and 162gr. Any help is appreciated!

Predicted Data for Indicated Charges of the Following Powders.
Matching Maximum Pressure: 60000 psi, or 413 MPa
or a maximum loading ratio or filling of 102 %
These calculations refer to your specified settings in QuickLOAD 'Cartridge Dimensions' window.
C A U T I O N : any load listed can result in a powder charge that falls below minimum suggested
loads or exceeds maximum suggested loads as presented in current handloading manuals. Understand
that all of the listed powders can be unsuitable for the given combination of cartridge, bullet
and gun. Actual load order can vary, depending upon lot-to-lot powder and component variations.
USE ONLY FOR COMPARISON !
74 loads produced a Loading Ratio below user-defined minimum of 85%. These powders have been skipped.
