After a year in the making of having a 280 built, I've found a load for it. Wanted to brag a little bit boys. All the time and money spent was well worth the wait.

This thing was shooting 150 Nos SB's using IMR 4350 powder. Three shots were done at 100 yards out. With a Krieger barrel and a Dakota 76 Action, I was happy with the results. Let me know your thoughts!

My thoughts are: Very, very, nice!, What OAL?, and How many grains? Well done.

FISH!!

Heed the words of Winston Smith in Orwell's 1984:

"Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right."

Minute of deer anyway.
Barrel twist rate?

OAL of the cartridge was 3.280 if I remember correctly. I loaded 150g Nosler solid bases using 50 grains of IMR 4350 powder.

These bullets are not made by Nosler anymore. not sure if it is the solid bases that have the magical touch or not. Here are pics of the rifle, per your request...

Excellent looking rifle. Nice touch with the gold inlays.
Barrel twist?

I'm waiting patiently for the return of a custom .280 Remington. If I can get a .139 to a .177 gn. To shoot like that I will be a happy camper.

Well, other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?

That is a very handsome rifle. Beautiful wood. Was all of the work done by Dakota?

I believe the twist rate is a 1:9 ...? All stock work, engraving and blewing was done by a friend of mine. Feel free to shoot me a PM if you ever need a recommendation for a gunsmith. This guy truly is an artist. Look up Robert Schuck in the gun makers guild (ACGG).

When you run out of solid base bullets, there always Partitions. A bit slower powder like H4831 or H4831SC works best in my 7's. 160 & 175's seem best. Have fun with it.
