[QUOTE="letrbuck, post: 1034492, member: 72215"] Hey guys, I'm still relatively green in the handloading world... and need some suggestions for some load development on my Ruger Hawkeye Allweather in .280 Rem. (Trigger is tuned to ~3 lbs and it's sitting in a pillar and glass bedded Boyd's stock) I've played around so far with 150 nos BT, 140 accubonds, and 150 Swift sciroccos. So far, the sciroccos have been best at near max (no pressure signs tho) charge of H4831sc. But I haven't found a "sweet spot" yet. I want to try a couple more bullets that I've found and that friends have given me and I've picked up a couple more powders. Here's what I've got: Bullets I have: 140 Nos Accubond 150 Nos BT 150 Swift Sciroccos 150 accubond LR Bullets I can have "samples" of from a friend: Hornady: 100 HP, 139 GMX, 162 SST Sierra: 150 HPBT, 160 boat tail, 175 boat tail Nosler: 120 bal tip, 140 bal tip, 160 Accubond Powders I have: H4831sc Varget RL19 RL22 Load development is fun, but I dont want to spend a huge amount of time and money sending tons of different bullet/powder/seat depth combos down the tube Thanks for any input you might have! Oh, and I've got Nosler brass, Win LR and Fed 210 primers [/QUOTE]
