160 gr Trophy Bonded Tip in 280 Rem

[swehrman]

Has anyone worked up a load for the 160gr Trophy Bonded Tip bullet in a 280 Rem? I've got a new 280 coming, and I just picked up some of these bullets from Midway.

Not the TBT, but I've worked up loads in a Ruger .280 for 160 grain Accubonds. I can find that data for you if you are interested. Of course, every rifle is unique.

Thanks for the offer. Last night I was able to find this PDF with load data from Federal that has quite a few powders that I have on hand. I'll try some of these loads, and hopefully find something that works.

Im looking forward to trying them in my new 7 saum. The 180s in my 300 saum were flat out awesome. hope you enjoy them.

Imr 7828ssc has worked well for me with 160 gr. Bullets. Shooting a Ruger 77 mk2 with 22" barrel my current load is running 2890 fps and doesnt show any pressure signs. I have never shot the trophy bonded tip though.
