What's Your Favorite 280 Rem Load
I'm trying out a new 280 Rem rifle. I started with 160 Sierra BT and 162 Hornady SST, both loaded with Reloder 22. Accuracy was so-so.
I have a hunch I should be trying lighter bullets but thought I would seek the experiences of fellow AO followers.

I've been getting fantastic results with 140gr TTSX and 57gr RL-22. Can't seem to upload pics, but it was shooting 5 shots into 1" at 100yds and 5 into the size of an iPhone at 600yds while doing my part. Might have to invest in a chronograph to check my velocity.
As another note, try the OCW method to test loads.

X2, the hotter the better. Build up until you hit the sweet spot.

I just scored some 145gr. Grand Slams for the Pit Boss' 280.
So far H4350, looks to be the powder of choice.
