[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1206914, member: 24284"] I would NOT use the maximum load from a loading manual. Every barrel is different.. Some don't need as much powder as another might to reach "maximum". Start at the minimum load or just slightly above for safties sake. The "max" in the loading manal might be above max in your barrel. When you insert a .280 Rem. case into the chamber is there some resistance felt when closing the bolt? Do you have to "push" on the bolt handle some to get it all the way down? The question is, "did the gunsmith that chambered this barrel adhear to Ackleys method of headspacing, where factory spec ammo will have some resistance when closing the bolt,, or did he not headspace it that way?".
