[QUOTE=".280Rem, post: 206235, member: 11140"] With 139 Hornadys I use 59grs R-19, Rem Brass, and WLR primer. Runs 3150fps. Horady's have the shortest bearing surface, and give better velocity with safe pressures. I've shot a lot of deer with that load. With several 140s such as Accubonds, Ballistic Tips I run 61-61.5grs of R-22. Same brass and primes. I tried mag primers too with little difference. That runs @ 3080-3100. I stop at 3100 with all but the Hornadys. Other powders I've had success with are N160 with 140s, N165 with all wts. N160 is just a bit slower than H4350, but not much. N165 is about a grain slower than R-22. And I've run 60grs of H4831 with 154 Hornadys at about 3000fps. Shot a few deer with that too. My M700SS .280 loves Hornady bullets for some reason. Puts most in one hole. Heres a pic of a 3 shot 100 yd group with a really sweet load. [IMG]http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e283/jransom40/280SStarget.jpg[/IMG] Unfortunately it was a bit warm! [IMG]http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e283/jransom40/chrony.jpg[/IMG] I backed it off a bit down to 3100 and it's still very good. However, it's with the old, no longer made 140 Nosler Solid Bases. I found an unopened box of 100...I still have about 85 left. [/QUOTE]
