[brokenharley711]

anyone have any good loads for a .280 ai 1-9 twist 26 in barrel with a 180 berger vld? i'm thinking reloder 22, nosler brass and some remington magnum primers(if i need them?)

thanks

My preference but Remington primers are the last I would use. You may even consider Re25 with the 180 in mind. A mag primer would be a good choice but not really necessary unless you hunt in very cold temps.

i've got 2 guns that shoot one hole with remington primers so i'll stick with them. at what point, grain wise, do i need to step up to a magnum primer?
