Dave Jenkins120 grain Vmax in .280 Rem. ?
Anybody got a good pet load? Ive tried some Rl-19 and Fed 210M primers but the best I did was M.O.Golfball Actually it was 54.7 grains and five rounds into 1.70" COL was 3.260". I have some IMR4064 loaded up and waiting to go. Using once fired Win Nickle brass partial sized with a redding FL backed off slightly. Any input is appreciated in advance.

Remington 9-1/2 Primer
No need for the match primer, and your load was near the low end of the scale...

Dave JenkinsSteve, You are absolutely correct. 54.7 grains is closer to 51.6 than it is to 61 grains. What I didnt state in my post is that I also tried 56.5 grains and 58 grains of RL-19.The first shot a little over 2" and the 58 grains shot 2.8" Fed Match primers are what I have the most of but if you think it will tighten my groups I'll try the Remingtons and 51.6 to 61 grains of Rl-19.

BTW Alliant lists 58 Grains as their max with 120 grain pills.
