Does anyone have a load or a good starting place for shooting Berger 140.
I have looked and was going to buy the manual but it doesn't carry the cartridge.
I have h4831 Sc, RL22, imr 4350 and several other powders.

Nosler has some data online that is a great source.

http://www.nosler.com/nosler-load-data/280-remington-ackley-improved/

Hodgdon also has some 280AI data: http://www.hodgdonreloading.com/data/rifle

4831 or R22 would be my pick.

H4831 has become the powder of choice in my 280's and AI's. I've loaded the round for several years. I now shoot the 154 sst's in the 2800 range. I would say if you already have 4831 on hand I could recommend starting with it on your 140's.

I have some H4831SC that I am thinking about running with 140 Berbers.

Nosler makes OTC ammo though

My 280 loves IMR4350 pushed hot using 140 Accubonds. With the AI start at around 53 grains and work up. I won't say what my load is because it's hot and my gun likes it. I chrono'd my loads this week, 3050 average
