[QUOTE="bkondeff, post: 986370, member: 10444"] I saw the following listed in a review for my exact new gun, Remington Mtn Rife SS in .280: [SIZE=1]Bullet[/SIZE] [SIZE=1]Bullet Weight Grains[/SIZE] [SIZE=1]Net Water Capacity H[I]2[/I]O[/SIZE] [SIZE=1]COL"[/SIZE] [SIZE=1]Powder Type[/SIZE] [SIZE=1]Powder Charge Grains[/SIZE] [SIZE=1]Muzzle Velocity FPS[/SIZE] [SIZE=1]Muzzle Energy Ft-Lbs[/SIZE] [SIZE=1]100 Yard Group Size 3 Shot "[/SIZE] [B][SIZE=1]Berger VLD Hunting[/SIZE][/B] [B][SIZE=1]168[/SIZE][/B] [SIZE=1][B]58.5[/B][/SIZE] [SIZE=1][B]3.330[/B][/SIZE] [SIZE=1][B]RL19[/B][/SIZE] [SIZE=1][B]56.0[/B][/SIZE] [B][SIZE=1]2846[/SIZE][/B] [B][SIZE=1]3022[/SIZE][/B] [SIZE=1][B]0.7[/B][/SIZE] [B][SIZE=1]Berger VLD Hunting[/SIZE][/B] [B][SIZE=1]168[/SIZE][/B] [SIZE=1][B]58.5[/B][/SIZE] [SIZE=1][B]3.330[/B][/SIZE] [SIZE=1][B]IMR7828 SSC[/B][/SIZE] [SIZE=1][B]58.0[/B][/SIZE] [B][SIZE=1]2817[/SIZE][/B] [B][SIZE=1]2961[/SIZE][/B] [SIZE=1][B]0.7[/B][/SIZE] [CENTER][SIZE=1][COLOR=#ffffff][B]Not starting points by any stretch of the imagination [/B][/COLOR][/SIZE][/CENTER] The load listed for the 168 Berger is much higher than what Berger lists as max. The velocity also seems optimistic for a 22" barrel. I tried both the 7828 and the RL19 this weekend and the 7828 showed promise, while the RL19 did not. Was going to try my first Ladder Test for pressure signs, but though I'd ask for some opinions on here first. Is .5 grain increments too high? Min distance for successful test? What difference would I expect between 7828 in the normal and SSC versions? Have both now, used regular last time. I would love to get 2800. [/QUOTE]
