RE: Best load for Rem 280?
I have a M77 all-weather with a light 22" barrel,it prefers a Nosler/Combined Technologies 140 Ballistic Tip behind 59.0 Grs of Reloader 22 ignited by a CCI-250 primer in a nickle plated Winchester case. With this load this particular rifle shoots right at 3000fps into sub MOA 3 shot groups out to 400 yards and has a standard deviation of only 5.1 which does show it's constistency.As normal, work up with caution as this is a max load in some manuals.
I have had better velocities with IMR-4831 but the R-22 gives me good speed and shoots good enough.
