[QUOTE="pods8, post: 1056916, member: 83233"] I'm having a 280AI (traditional) chambered and plan to fire form off 280rem. I've been gathering up components and the Barnes buy 2 get 1 deal at the end of the year offered up the best priced combo I could find. Seems wasteful though to fire off 140gr TTSX to fire form though. I was pondering on pulling those and reloading in something like a 139gr hornady interlock which I have on hand. I was thinking I'd load up 5 initially and fire sequentially at -2gr, -1.5gr, -1gr, -.5g, full factory powder charge to play it safe with an unknown powder. So far in my experience the longer barnes tend to run a couple grains less powder than a lead core for the same weight so I suspect the factory load would be just fine but I wanted to build up a tiny bit just in case, I'm thinking 2gr under that ideally shouldn't get into too low of a powder charge. So that was the thought running through my head, let me know if its idiotic. :D [/QUOTE]
