Tim629any of you guys start loading these bullets yet?
I got some from an offer on another site but no work on load data so curious where you guys got data from for starting loads.
(120grain for the 280ai)

SnellstromTim I haven't received mine yet, was going to start with 6.5 Swede. Figured I'd start with a known load at the weight I receive and go from there.
Let us know how yours go....
12 November 2015, 06:56
Les StaleyI used Barnes data for a comparable weight bullet. Started atlow end and got good groups. Looking for a decent buck here in Idaho. Still have 20 days to go. Will keep you posted.

Tim629I did get a message from sidewinder, he was off hunting (lucky guy) but if I don't see anything from him before I'm ready to load I'll just go with a mild barnes load and see what happens.
just hoping the weather turns so I can get a load worked up and find a doe before I run out of time/season before headed to my parent to hunt deer/bear
14 November 2015, 01:19
Tim629got a decent group 2 touching 1 high (not sure which shot was which, but I did feel that I rushed one) but good enough results for the distances i'll encounter.
rain and wind are to let up tonight so going to try for a doe first thing in the morning before I get back to my honey-do-list so I can get out of the house and go hunting for a week and a half in PA
