Shot the LH Forbes 280 AI 24" 1-9 twist

Loads worked up in my rifle do not try them without working up.

Would like to see similar loads and velocities please.


280 AI (SAMMI) 24 "
RL 26 Peterson Brass, 160 NAB, CCI 200, 60.5 gr 2935 FPS, 61 GR 3003 FPS 60 GR 160 GR N partition 2982 FPS all under 1.5"

RL 26 RP brass, CCI 200 162 GR A max 61 GR 2952 FPS 61.5 GR 3001 FPS about 2" does not like the 162 Gr A Max

Mag Pro RP brass, CCI 200 162 Gr Amax 62 GR 2882 FPS 62.5 GR 2856 FPS 63 Gr 2880 about 2"

RL 19 RP brass, CCI 200 162 Gr A max 58 GR, 2859 FPS, 58.5 2885 FPS, 2895 FPS

H 4831 Peterson Brass, CCI 200, 160 GR Nosler ABond, 57.5 GR 2769FPS, 58 GR 2808 FPS, 58.5 GR 2865 too hot shows pressure. Around 1"

Peterson brass is quite a bit heavier than RP brass. Nosler load data shows about 3000 FPS tops with 160 GR bullets in there 26" so about 2950 is my
safe max in my 24".

Supply on my 160 GR Nosler Accubond is out more on order. My rifle does not like the 162 A max box states 1-8 twist but accurate in my 1-9 7 Rem Mag.

RL 26 has less felt recoil and more speed than the other powders, but it's tricky does not show pressure.

Any xtra 160 GR Nosler Accubond,s I am looking for around 200, seconds are fine.
