180 gr.Berger Hybrid in 280 ai

[GGibbs]

Anyone shooting 180 gr.Berger Hybrid in a 280 Ackley Improved? Just got mine, and load data is very scarce for this.Any info on loading up the 180 Hybrid for it would be greatly appreciated.
I've found some info from Nosler up to 170.gr.....but nothing for a 180.
Thanks again for any help.

My Hodgdon manual lists a 175gr Nosler Partition in it load data. The 175 Partition has an extremely long bearing surface. You could extrapolate data from it and use it with the 180 Hybrids with zero problems.

The 180 Hybrid does as well, very long....I'll check out the Hodgdon. ..
Thank you.

The 7mm Hybrid, compared to other 180's like the VLD has a considerably shorter bearing surface. The 175 Partition has one of the longest bearing surface of any bullet I have seen, except the 180 Lapua Scenar..
