Do a search someone with the handle River Runner did a lot of work with R26 and Berger bullets. He and I both came up with the same load as Buffalo Bill. The Accubond has less bearing surface than the Bergers that RR was using so the 61.5 should be a good max charge with the Accubond. I ran up to 62.5 and was just getting signs of pressure so 61.5 should be good. I am getting 2950 - 3000 fps. with a 25 inch tube but I need to check it again.

I was using Nickle brass which has the highest capacity of any 280 brass I have used so I can usually run a grain or so more powder than with Nosler brass and some others.
