I've had several 280; never felt comfortable enough with 160'a to come close to 2975, even in a 24" barrel.

And I've never seen a load published that will get you there either.

Just sayin.

Also never had a problem getting 140 BT's to shoot well either at around 2850-2900.

I'm averaging about 2980 with the 160 TBT's and 60.0 RL26. I worked up to to it extrapolating Alliant's 270 Win data with the 150s (60.8 with the Partition). I thought was a little warm but nothing indicating and excessive pressure and a check in QL put the psi around 64k and about 3fps difference.
