Good morning folks. I'm just now getting back into reloading after about a 10 year hiatus. I got tired of having a closet full of useful equipment just collecting dust.
As stated in the title I need to work up a load for my .280 Ackley, which has also been collecting dust since I had it built a decade ago.
I will be using 168 Berger VLD hunters and H-4831SC powder for my initial run as this is what I have on hand at the moment.
I've been sweeping the books and internet for loads and have come up with a relatively large sample size ranging from 52.0gr all the way up to 59.6gr.
Barrel is a 1 in 8.7" twist, 24" Rock Creek on a Defiance action.
I will play with seating depth as per Berger advice once I have a base powder weight to work with.
Thank you in advance for any help. It feels good to wake my brain up again and start back into this enjoyable hobby.
Kevin.
