280Ackleyrized140 Nosler accubond seated .010 off the lands over 63.5 grains of VV N-165. It doesnt get any better than that. My 280AI cranks over 3200 out of a 24 3/4 barrel. And it is a tackdriver. I also plan on working up a load with the 140 XLC and/or TSX. But thats for next year. After I find a combo with the barnes that it likes, the NAB will be a backup load. I have too much faith in the barnes to not use it if i find a suitable bullet powder combo for this rifle.
