Looking for a place to start reloading for a 280 Rem 700 Mtn Rifle with 120 Gr. Barnes TTSX BT bullets for whitetails. I know I have Win 748 and 760 powder along w/IMR4350. Thanks in advance.

I recommend RL15 but looking at Noslers data W760 is a great recommendation. 54.5 max I personally use RL15 and it's very accurate.

I'd try H4350.
In my 280 Rem MTN my new favorite load is 59.0grs of H4350 and Nosler 120gr Ballistic tips. Chronied 3180 fps from skinny 22" OE barrel. Groups excellent.
Barnes data will need to be consulted for the same weight in a Barnes version. Superformance would be another option worth a shot.

I have a 280 mountain rifle. Haven’t tried the 120’s yet. It shoots the 140 very well with Ramshot Hunter.

180 ELD's would be my first pitch,followed by 162 ELD's. Hint.................

Barnes has load data online that you can print off. That would be the first place I looked. You guys need to start doing that more often, rather than asking for a load. Try working up too. That nets the best results.
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

You need a rifle of another make in a different chambering. And with a different scope, rings, and bases. Shooting a bullet 2x heavier than what you asked for. That's the brokestick way.
Probably 4350 would be your best bet of those 3. Barnes has data for it online. Nosler does have 760 data online for a 120 gn. 748 probably won't do well for you.
