.280 Remington 160Gr. for Elk

midnightSGT · Feb 9, 2016

Prepping for a possible trip out west.

Looking to Load some 160 Accubond type bullets for my .280 Remington.

Anyone have any Pet 160 grain loads and powder selections?

I have H-4831, Im 4350, Varget, and I 4895 on Hand.

I'm not opposed to a different powder if you have something that "works"

Loads that work in other rifles may not work in yours.

Develop and tailor loads for your rifle.

50 gr. of 4350 is dead nuts accurate in my Remington 700.

4831 or varget would be my choice, but your gun and load will decide better then anything else. Enjoy your elk hunt. I went in 2005 with 3 other people and we all harvested bull elk.
They can take a bullet for sure.

I misspoke. I was just looking for good performing powder/ bullet combinations, not a specific load. I would also work up my load just wanted
a possible starting point of known components.

My rifle likes H4831SC and RL-22 but you need to find out what YOUR rifle likes. Each rifle has its own personality
