[QUOTE="436, post: 1717106, member: 16609"] Well, not too sure about your 280 AI'..., but the .220 Swift I might be of some help. Nosler listed a load for the 55gr ballistic tip in their reloader guide number Four page 156... which I started using many years back. It was; (37.0grs) of RL-15 with 3980 fps. Well, I had a Remington M-700 SS in a 26" barrel that would come close, with absolutely no sign of pressure and pretty darn good accuracy. So, I started pushing the load up a little at a time and saw the velocity come up to the 3980 fps when I got to (39.0grs) it was just over 4000 fps with one hole type accuracy along with SD's and ED's as low as I've ever seen them in the .220 Swift's I've owned. Weather temps were not a big factor in my rifle. Case: Win Primer: CCI BR-2 Powder: RL-15 (39.0grs) Bullet: Nosler Ballistic Tip 55gr BT WARNING: This load is over Max... work up slow "any" indication of pressure stop!
