[QUOTE="DZelenka, post: 507763, member: 20543"] How long of a barrel? My 24" .280 will put 160s over 2800, but I haven't shot anything heavier. My current load is 54.3 gr IMR 4350 under a 140 Accubond. Surprisingly, it is only going 2850 fps (other lots of this powder have driven this same bullet over 3000 fps), but I don't have any problem with it out to 600 yards. It drifts a little less than my service rifle with 82 gr Bergers. 5 MOA for a 10 mph full value wind. a 168 Berger at 2800 only drifts 3.5 MOA. Perhaps I may have to play with some. :) By the way, I am building a long action 7 WSM for a long range deer rifle. [/QUOTE]
