I picked up a new Browning X-Bolt Speed in .280AI recently. 24” Barrel with 1:8 Twist. Put a new Leupold VX 6HD 3x18x44 with the TMOA reticle on it.
Purpose for this one is everything from Whitetail to Elk. 50yds+/- out to 500yds+
I bought qty 100 of Nosler Brass and qty 200 of the Hornady ELD-X in 162gr
I have Accurate 4064, Accurate 4350, IMR4064, IMR4350, H4350, H4831SC, & IMR7828SCC
I’ve done a fair bit of searching here and other corners of the internet for loads.
Just finished up 33 rounds with H4831SC. Did groups of three (3) starting at 54gr and working my way up to 59.6gr
54, 55, 55.5, 56, 56.5, 57, 57.5, 58, 58.5, 59, 59.2, 59.4, & 59.6. Last three I did one of each. If no pressure signs, I’ll make a batch of three for each.
Just thought I’d probe the minds here and see if anyone has anything in their records for .280AI & ELD-X (162gr) with any of the other powders I have available.
Appreciate your attention
