Need Help with a 280AI load

[Mustangs Rule]

Does anybody have a loading book references for the 280AI using a 120 grain lead core bullet with either IMR 4831 or IMR 4064.



I found data for the 280 Remington using these powders with the 120 grain bullet but none for the 280AI



Times being what they are, these are the only powders I have to work with.

Thank you

This should work, I tested it with 4064 and it came up

Thank you.

I cannot see this data as being designated for the 280AI. Could you please include that in an image. I would need that verification to feel comfortable using this data.

Thanks again, this looks just like whay I want

Thank you,

I tried opening it. First time it said page not available, then it did open but there were limited calibers, without 280AI

I think i get it, you select caliber on the left and the data comes up. Is that right? This seems like just what I wanted

You have to select "rifle" tab or you're looking at pistol only. 280 AI is there under rifle calibers, I checked for you

Yep this data is from Hodgdon the 280ai and 120. Their website sometimes defaults on pistol so that is why you may not have seen it before. Hodgdon data seems to match up with velocities I see when I load. Sometimes I can get a little over max but variations sometimes allows for it.

Cool thank you, I wiil begin working up some loads tonight. I do an active fast walking shooting course on NF land, in the winter on snowshoes.

I took off my deer/elk hunting variable Leopold scope and put a fixed 6 x on my 280AI for my "target shooting season"

Lots of fun, great excercise, wonderful practice.

So hard getting reloading components now so I have to use what I have.

With the Ukraine war I wonder if we will ever have easy access to shooting components.
