[QUOTE="Troutslayer2, post: 419850, member: 25190"] I went out to ladder test today. I was using some RP brass, which I bought as .280 rem, and fired in the rifle to change them to .280AI. They didn't shoot very well. Anyway, I used a neck sizer die only on them, and then reloaded a ladder that was going to go all the way up to 61.5 grains. I started getting case separation signs at about 57.5, and this happened at 58 grains. [IMG]http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y21/BenjoMT/IMGP2467.jpg[/IMG] Could someone give me the quickload data for this load? 4000 Feet elevation, 70 degrees .280 Ackley Improved 160 Grain Nosler Accubond 58 Grains Reloader 22 26" Bbl, 1:10 Twist The only thing that I can think of is that when I fired the Remington factory stuff, nearly all of the primers were lifted out of the primer pockets. I took this as a sign of low pressure, was I wrong? I do not know what to make of this, probably because I am inexperienced. I am a good ways back from the lands. From everything I've read, I should not be getting this much pressure with this load, so I either have a crappy batch of brass or a hot jar of powder- or I have other problems. Any advice? Ladder test was an epic failure, but the dispersion on the lower end of things was very good and I hope that I am getting enough velocity at around 56.5 grains. I need a chronograph bad. [/QUOTE]
