Using IMR-4895 and Mule Deers' advice I formulated some reduced loads for my .280 Rem. An old Sierra manual showed a load of 46.9 of I-4895 with a 140gr at 2800fps. Using the Hodgon formula I multiplied 46.9 by .60 (60%) to arrive at my reduced load of roughly 28grs. This load is easy to shoot, and didn't require a ton of holdover at 200 yards. I havn't clocked it yet, but I wouldn't be surprised if it would work on deer out to the 200 yard mark. This will be just a practice load for me, but would be a great starting point for a new shooter. Good luck with your loads!
