That was my plan when I scored the 760 270 Win. I was going to do a 338-06 or 9.3. Well, I kinda have a soft spot for the 270 Win, so I had the barrel trimmed back to 20" and with 150 PT's it works well as it is... Maybe one of these days I will though. Do you fire it from the hip yelling ‘Merica? What if I do??? What're you going to do bout it?!?!?!

Even a moose has been felled by the 'top secret' 280 load.... Perdy snazzy. When it was my turn for a moose, I had along my 7 rem mag. Which I call the 280 on steriods....

I am pretty sure John and I are fairly similar and if we were neighbors, your video might be close... Or we may simply have opposing firebases with support by fire positions aimed in on one another.. Who knows?

280 Remington, 700 BDL, 162 SPBT Hornady Interlock, 53 grains IMR4350, 0.19 MOA - second group .82 MOA same load, third group 1.33 MOA same load - .78 MOA average
280 Remington, 700 BDL, 150 Nosler PT, WLR, 56 grains IMR4350, 0.72 MOA - second group .87 MOA - favorite load
280 Remington, 700 BDL, 150 SPBT Sierra, 56 grains IMR4350, 0.67 MOA - second group .9 MOA
280 Remington, 700 BDL, 139 Hornady Interlock, 54 grains IMR4350, 0.62 MOA
280 Remington, 700 BDL, 120 Hornady Hollow Point, 52 grains H414, 0.88 MOA - 2ea. 5 shot groups - I stopped using this as I found H414 to be sensitive to temperature
This rifle is accurate with most loads, the largest group out of normal (not hot) loads was 1.34 MOA (154 Grain Hornady Interlock & 53 grains IMR4350- the second group with this load was .88 MOA though???)
Exceptions see below:
I loaded a couple loads too hot, and the groups got large - 55 Grains IMR4350 and 154 grain Interlocks & 154 grain SST's*, the groups were as large as 2.65 MOA with these two too hot loads.
*I stopped using SST's when I had poor bullet performance in my 25-06. I sold 10 boxes (different calibers) that I had for a dime on the dollar, and I warned people when they bought them of my disgust with the bullets.

57 Grs. of H4350 and an old 150 gr. Remington Core-lokt was real consistent and around an inch from a crappy, home built 98 actiona nd Apex barrel. I never clocked it and I was fine with the accuracy and consistency.

Here's some loads my favorite 280 likes:
280 Remington 700 BDL, 162 grain SPBT Hornady IL, 53 grains IMR4350, 0.19 - .82 MOA (different times)
280 Remington 700 BDL, 120 grain Sierra HP, 58 grains MR3100, 0.57 - .88 MOA
280 Remington 700 BDL, 150 grain Nosler PT, WLR, 51.5 grains IMR4350, 0.60 MOA
280 Remington 700 BDL, 150 grain SPBT Sierra, 56 grains IMR4350, 0.67 MOA
280 Remington 700 BDL, 139 grain Hornady IL, 54 grains IMR4350, 0.62 MOA
280 Remington 700 BDL, 150 grain Nosler PT, WLR, 56 grains IMR4350, 0.72 MOA
280 Remington 700 BDL, 150 grain SPBT Sierra, 55.5 grains IMR4831, 0.80 MOA
280 Remington 700 BDL, 120 grain Hornady HP, 52 grains H414, 0.88 MOA (stopped using when I found out how temperature sensitive it is)
280 Remington 700 BDL, 140 grain Barnes TSX, 56 grains IMR4350, 0.95 MOA
280 Remington 700 BDL, 154 grain Hornady IL, 53 grains IMR4350, 0.88 MOA
I mentioned earlier that H4831 was a good powder, but MR3100 and IMR4831 are close to H4831. But H4831 didn't make it into the top 20, sorry. The loads in bold are the ones that I use the most.

I shot out two 280’s.
I tried heavier bullets but settled on 140’s.
I tried every powder available and got the best results with IMR4831!
H4350 worked well as did R17.
Today I would try R16 which wasn’t available when I was shooting the 280.
