Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles 280 AI loads, 160 Partitions

I think H 1000 is too slow fir the little 280AI case.

I tried it with 150gn Ballistic Tips and even 65gn which is a heavy powder charge only generated 2730fps which is 300fps slower than my best loads using Rel 22 or Rel 17.
With the 154gn Hornady SP I tried to 63gn for only 2673fps which again, is 300fps too slow for that bullet weight.
160gn Accubonds and 62gn generated only 2593fps so it is clearly better suited to magnum volume case capacity.
