Results from the new .280

I've been asking for load data on a .280 with a 154 grain Hornady Interbond. Here's the result of my range work.
.340 at 100 yards! Gotta like it. I know, it's only a three shot group, but I'm not complaining! My load was 58.5 grains of RL22 with Norma brass and CCIBR2 primers. This is a max load in the Hornady book, so PLEASE, approach it with caution.
This rifle started as a Remington Mountain Rifle LSS with hinged floorplate. It was customized by Matt Strickland of Spearfish Gunsmithing. He did all the blueprinting, etc. and put on a Lilja #2 barrel at 24".
Just wanted to share my joy. I can't wait for November!
