Default RE: .280 Ackley Improved

Thanks for the reply

Sorry I forgot to add the OAL of 3.320.
While fire forming there were no signs of of dents, case seperation, and I didn't notice any discoloration around the neck.
I just loaded up about 9 different powder (weight combos for three different bullets (HDY 139 sst, SMK 168,and NOS 150) I Used both IMR 4831, and H4831SC(Nosler). I tried mid power loads and gaining in .5 incriments. C.O.A.L is what is listed in the manuals.

I am hoping that I will see better groups now that I have fire formed all the rounds I have. I also bought some factory Federal 140 gr Barnes to see if they work.

Thanks again for your help.
