[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2139312, member: 101791"] Thanks for the info. That is about what my thinking is on loading the 6mm-280IA. It was my thinking that changed me from a 6mm-06IA to the 280IA concerned about having enough case to use the slower powders. It appears that I have more than enough. I have a high end chronograph, and I use in load development. I don't take off with the high on powder ever. Learn that a long time ago. Have you tried the Hammer Hunter 100gr bullets by chance? I don't have my rifle yet, but do have the bullets. I am very impressed with them. As I noted earlier that I am using a 30" barrel, because of the slower burning powders. I generally use Large Rifle Primers, and not Mag Primers. Being the loads are under 75 grains. Don't get excited about the 75 grains, that level of powders is when I start to look at mag primers. It looks like we will be well under that. The other is I am waiting on powders, brass cases from Peterson brass in 280IA. All the case will be volume weighted, and necks turned. Presently upgrading, and updating my reloading equipment at the same time as having this rifle built. I will keep you posted when I start building loads for it. It problem be 6 months or better yet. Thanks and good luck to you too. [/QUOTE]
