| Anyone have any load data for the 280 using Hodgdon Benchmark powder? |
|
Hodgdon's website is full of useful data. However, I'd say from looking at the data, you'd be better off not using Benchmark for the .280 Remington. It appears to be too fast to be truely useful in such a large case. Better to stick with the slower stuff. |
Gotta agree with the above. I've tried Benchmark in my .280 Model 70 and it didn't work worth a damn for anything I loaded. I tried 140, 150 and 160 grain bullets and used the entire pound I bought in experimentation to find a decent load and was patently unsuccessful. |
