load data on Nosler 140grn for .280 rem

February 02, 2002 23:02

My speer manual does not cover the 140grain bullet, only the 130 and 145. I'll be using Hodgdon's H4831. Boat tail, ballistic tips

Nosler #4 dosn't show a load with H4831 either.They do show RL19 (53-57gr) at 53.0 as most accurate powder and chargeIMR4831 goes from 52-56gr with 52.0 as most accurate Start low and work up slow

I used IMR4831 in the last batch - but also used 45grn bullets. Speers manual shows 54 grains as most accurate for this combination and a high of 56. I ended up with a batch at 54.5 as very good in my Ruger #1. I see that the same combination for a 130grn bullet uses a higher 57 grains max but a lower most accurate at 53. I think I'll use the rest of my IMR on these and test the Hodgdon on a known 145grain bullet even though the charts show no charge amount change at that weight bullet. Then work from there. Like you said start low and work up...
