Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Factory Ammo for 280 Rem.

Was wondering what factory ammo you use in 280 Rem. for deer sized game ? My rifle is Remington mountain S.S

Remington 140 Core Lokts.

The Federal Trophy Copper load. It is also stupidly accurate in my primary 280.

My 280ai Montana shoots plain jane 140 fusions well.

When i shot a 280 with factory ammo years ago the remington 140 core lokts shot the best in my Mtn. rifle.

My KS .280 sure likes the Barnes Vor-Tx 140 grain TTSX ammo. Not cheap but it shoots better than anything I've ever tried in that rifle.

I've had the best results with Federal Fusion in 140gr.

I have a Remington Mt Rifle DM in .280 and a Win M 70 in .280. The Rem 700 shoots 140gr, 150gr, and 165gr Core-Lokts to the nearly the same POI at 100yds.

The Federal Fusions are slightly higher at 100yds, but more accurate by 1/4" at that distance.

I've killed deer with the 150gr Core-lokts and the Federal Fusions. The Fusions are what I use now for factroy ammo and forming brass.

140 ballistic silver tip; or any 140.

another vote for the Barnes Vor Tex 140 TTSX.

Federal Premiums with the 150 Partition has been THE most accurate factory load in about 3 different 280's
