Re: 280 AI load suggestions?
The 162gr Amax loaded in 280AI Nosler brass pushed by 64gr Magpro and sparked by a WLR nets 3050fps out of my 26" PacNor 3 groove.
The 168 Berger VLD pushed by 60gr of RL22 nets 3000.
The 64gr Magpro load is developing a Quickload estimated 62-63Kpsi. Zero pressure signs but I'm calling this load max.
I think I still have a little room to work with the 60gr RL22 load.
Magpro rocks with fantastic velocity, great accuracy and easy metering!
The 162 Amax rocks with a .625 BC!

Re: 280 AI load suggestions?
Next build is going to be a 280AI, was hoping that more people would chime in.
Re: 280 AI load suggestions?
My go to load is 58.5 IMR4831 behind a 140 Barnes XXX. I also like 58.5 RL22 behind a 160 NOSLER AB. Both sparked by CCI 200
Re: 280 AI load suggestions?
Add one more 280 Ackley enthusist to the list. I am in the process of building one.
Re: 280 AI load suggestions?

Re: 280 AI load suggestions?
58 grains of h-4831sc behind Hornady 139 gr SST ignited by CCI 200.
