Looking for a good load to get the 280 out to 1000 yards.
Bullet, powder, OAL?
Barrel is a 9 twist 24''

beginning to find load data for 1000 yard 280
http://www.6mmbr.com/gunweek053.html
http://www.6mmbr.com/gunweek088.html
These two links on 6mmbr. com will give you info on Jerry Tierney's records stuff from a few years ago with a 284. There is load data near the end of the article. Also the other gun of the week for week 88 in the new world records where Ballard broke Tierney record, and possible other's with a 284. Check you loading manual and you will see that the case capacity of the 284 and the 280 are almost the same. This should provide some assistance in where to start. I am just starting to play with my 280 improved 9 twist with the 180 grain Bergers. I am looking for this new Reloader 17 that appears to be a great poweder for the long range stuff. There is a lot of info on this on 6mmbr. there are some great articles about heavy bullets and one on how to tune your gun with the heavy berger bullets written by berger bullets. I will be using these guys comments on the 284 as a base to start with my 280 improved for load development.

280
Bill Carmichel wote a good article, I believe in "RIFLE" on building a 280 imp. for 1000 yd. Might be worth a read.
