[QUOTE="Shortmagman, post: 905706, member: 10723"] I had a lot of fun at the range today. I was able to buy some 150 grain Nosler Accubond LR bullets so I loaded some up and spent some time at the range with my Rem. 700 CDL in 280 Rem. and a couple of other guns. First I did not take my own advise about what powder to use with 140-160 grain bullets. I checked a couple of manuals and found that RL-22 produced very good velocity with 150 grain bullets so I loaded three shot with 54.0 grains, three with 55.0 grains and four with 56.0 grains. All in new RP cases and Br2 primers. I wanted them to fit the mag. so I loaded them .030 off the lands which was good for the mag. Here are my first three shots at 54 grains, followed with three at 55.0 grains. My 56.0 grains did not do quite as well so I will stick with the load at 55.0.I think I am ready to take it out a little further after I shoot this load across the chronograph. [/QUOTE]
