[QUOTE="RAT807, post: 1201890, member: 33244"] I have a model 700 in .280 in a Bell and Carlson stock. The factory barrel is free floated and the action has been bedded. So far I've only worked up 1 powder (IMR7878SSC) with the 168 VLDs. Only reached 2670 fps and good accuracy was even slower. 140 VLDs I've had great luck with IMR 4350, H4350 and IMR7878 SSC with the best speed and accuracy coming from IMR7878 SSC measuring .268 @ 2960 fps Sierra 150 Gamekings I've been working up loads with RL26. Depending on which brass I use, 59.8, 59.9 & 60 gr have all grouped from .27 to .62 with velocity between 2920 to 2952. RL 26 has very good velocity and is more temperature stable with burn rate between RL22 and RL25. I have Remington and Norma brass and think the Norma brass is much better. My rifle likes neck tension about .0025. The necks have been cleaned up to .014 to .015. I use a Redding body die and competition bushing die. My chamber is not true so I can't just neck size. Once I get the brass straight, neck tension set, it shoots pretty good. [/QUOTE]
