[QUOTE="Forrest Ebert, post: 662588, member: 11524"] Hey Snowfighter you never mentioned what twist you have in your barrel? There are a lot of us here shooting the 280AI and quite a few are using 63.0-63.5 grains of Retumbo with a 168 Berger Hunting VLD and out of a 26" tube you should be in the 2900-3050 area if your twist is right! What brass are you using as well as most are using Nosler with either a standard or magnum primer. I agree the load you listed sounds like for a standard 280 as you can start at the standard 280's max and work up or figure around 5%-8% more powder per load. Hope this info helps. [/QUOTE]
