    so finally chronod some loads .

    so finally got to range to chrono me loads.

    280rem Browning A Bolt- 162eldx over RL26.

    3 shots averaged.

    56.5g-2750fps 75fps between highest and lowest. 1 x lightly sticky extract- no extractor marks

    57g -2795 fps 122fps between highest and lowest.1 x lightly sticky extract- no extractor marks

    57.5g -2780 fps 23fps between highest to lowest- no extractor marks

    58g - 2819 fps 36 fps between highest to lowest.1 x lightly sticky extract- light extractor stamp

    58.5g - 2844 fps 69fps between highest to lowest- extractor stamp

    59g - 2921fps 7fps between highest to lowest- decent extractor stamp

    I am unsure if my old chrony is telling me porkies- so need to check with another newer chrony- and buy some new brass- as this stuff is 3 to 5 firings along.
    2840 seems alright for 162s in 280 rem?
    It sure is a please to shoot suppressed.Name:  56.5 no extract marks.jpg

    Those are some massive velocity spreads, heres hoping the chrony is misbehaving a bit or new brass helps. I'd have thought you would get a bit quicker before getting pressure signs like you are, seems like either funny reading or something else might be amiss

    Just the bottom one on my phone looks too hot. Play with seating depth. Then may be try a primer swap from LR to LRM or vice versa?

    Ejector stamp is visible but what you don't see is your primer pockets enlarging as well, these usually go hand in hand.

    You don't need a 7mmRM if you have a 280AI

    N560 works well in both.
