I shoot the 150 gr. Hornady ELD-X and RL26 in my .280. Barrel is 22". With 60 gr., MV is 3020 fps, and accuracy is exceptional. No pressure signs whatsoever, and I am sure I could up the powder charge- just don't see any need to do so. With a BC of .574, this bullet and load are flat shooting and wind-bucking for use in longer ranges.

I'd rather be a free man in my grave, than living as a puppet or a slave....
