Default RE: .280 Ackley Improved-- need a load for 115 grain speers???

Rick,

1) Using the 115 grainer for loooong range coyotes. Got them very cheap, thats why I'm asking about them.

2) I've been getting mixed reviews from guys with much more reloading experience than myself regarding fireforming with bullets vs. COW and a patch. I don't quite understand the exact priciples being sent my way, but something about good pressure vs. the patch being non uniformed resulting in different pressure/forming of the shoulder. I used a box of cheap 120 grain speers and formed the cases. I'm also breaking in the barrel a bit with shoot/clean-- shoot/clean, etc...

Thanks for the replies... much appreciated.
Stew
