[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 1356318, member: 68875"] I just have to go verify drops at distance, but I have found my hunting load for my .280AI. Right on the edge of too hot. But safe in my rifle. Do not replicate this load without slowly working up. This is a custom chamber. Nosler .280AI brass (once fired after fire forming to my chamber and bumping .002") 58.0gr. RL23 (over book max) Fed GM210M 175 Berger Elite Hunter Touching lands @ 2.690" CBTO Fast (that is all I am going to say until I verify drops at distance and fine tune the velocity) Shoots in the low .2s Don't mind the little .204" hole. Top is 3 shots @ .213". I need to drop about .1 or .2 MILs for my zero. Just a touch high for my tastes.
