i have a rem 700 mtn. rifle 22" tube with with a 2 " muzzle break. its for my kid. i am looking for info with 140 gr. beregers, accubonds and ballistic tips. powders are h4831 sc, h4350, imr 4350 and imr 4831. gun doesnt like rl 19 allready tried. any info would be great.
 
here is the load data that berger sent me for the .280 my best results for accuracy has been 58.5 grains of IMR7828 ssc. Do not use I repeat DO NOT USE h-414 I tried it cause I had some laying around and it even though it says it fills the case to 87% it sure doesn't look like it and I had a few that the trigger would go off then a split second later the gun would go off I'm guessing because the powder was all in the front of the case. But here ya go.

sorry the format didn't turn out so swell
 
I run 57 grain's of H-4831 under the 140 ab and 58 under the 140 berger. The accubond load was easy to come up with and accurate from the get go. The berger load was a bit more work finding the right jump but is just as accurate as the ab load and shoots flatter.
