Nosler Brass, 140 grain TSX, Federal 210 Primers, and IMR 4831. Wicked accurate and consistent.
Nosler Brass, 140 grain VLD, Federal 210 primers, and RL22. Also very good.

Thanks Ackleyfan. I dropped back to 63.0 grs to get longer case life. My 24" Hart barrel is getting 3180 fps.

I`m just glad I can pass on something this usefull. Thats a great load, and brass life at 63.5 gr is like forever. I hope many try it and find it as good to them as it was to me. I wanted to use Winchester cases, but the only 280 from them is nickel plated. I got to thinking and the 270 Winchester shares the same case length as the 280. I bought a 30 caliber tapered expander from Redding necked the 270 up to 30 caliber, then back to 280 headspaced in the AI chamber with a crush fit. Really turned out nice brass.
