[QUOTE="meatyrem, post: 1746563, member: 26633"] I was out today and FINALLY was able to finish my ladder testing of 140 accubonds H4831sc fed 210 primers in what has become one of my favorite rifles in my collection. It’s my first 280 I bought in 700 CDL 24”. My first round of testing I was able to go through all the loads but the top end. I stopped with 59gr 4831sc 140 AB 210 primers which gave me 2976fps. That group was a lateral spread of .48” The load before that of 58.5gr was a very tight 3 shot bughole and was 2948fps. The last of my testing went through 59.5gr and I ended with 60gr to stretch it out. Ended up neither of these top two loads showed any signs (In my rifle) and both had easy extraction. The 59.5gr load had a spread of about .55” and was a vertical spread. The 60gr load gave me a perfect little cloverleaf group and had a 1/4” spread. When I get more loaded up I will chrome them to see where they are at. I suspect they are well above 3000fps since my 59gr load was 2976fps. I used Winchester 140gr failsafe I had two boxes laying around and after a scope swap on this CDL I needed to re-zero so this is what I used. I got it close to zero within a few inches and then I tested these failsafes on water jugs. Thankfully I used enough as it went through all five and ended in the sixth jug losing all its petals and just the shank left. I had an extra accubond load as well and tested that on water jugs. It shredded the first three and ended up in the fourth water jug in the shape of a perfect little mushroom. When I get extra time I will weigh those two recovered bullets.
