280 AI hand load favorites.

grand slams of 145 and 160's were my bullet of choice until Barnes came out with the tsx and ttsx bullets. Never had a problem with either weight of GS's but after my first 10 shot 1/2 moa group with a 140 TSX in my 284 Win I was hooked.

I'm glad that your rifle liked the GS bullets. I never tried them in my 280 AI but I did try the 160 variety in my 7-08 and 280 Remington and to say that I wasn't impressed with the groups is a understatement.
I've got a few loads for the 280 AI but the 160 accubond is my rifles top choice and I never argue with my rifles.

..fill her up with H-4350, a Remington 9 1/2 mag primer pushing a 150 or 160 grain Nosler Partition...your ready to take on anything in North America...a true if you could only have one cartridge...

One cartridge? 338 win mag. Ready for anything in North America including brown bears while hunting Sitka blacktails.

Anyone running retumbo?

I did with great results, I just couldn't find it so I switched to RL26 which was even better ... well we all know how that just went down

Peterson Brass, RL26, 150gr CX, CCI Primer M70 with Shilen barrel, mcmillan stock and bedded, running around 3K I used a lot of 165gr GK, Accubonds Ect all with great accuracy, the CX are typically all around 1/2" with 5shot groups so i'm trying to conserve powder and stick with that. lol
