[QUOTE="Shortmagman, post: 690599, member: 10723"] Yes, you can get close to 2900 ft/sec with a 280 Rem shooting 162 grain bullets. I own a Remington CDL in 280 Rem with a 24 inch and I have gotten right at 2900 ft/sec with 160 Accubond bullets loaded with IMR-7828. I don't think that IMR-7828 is the very best powder for a 162 in a 280 but it does work. I am looking at a Hornady 8th edition manual and they show a number of powders that will produce 2800 ft/sec out of a 22 inch barrel, so with a 24 inch barrel you should be very close using this data. If I were looking for 2900+ with a 162 grain bullet I would first try Magpro powder. [/QUOTE]
