    Looks decent mate and looks like the low talleys worked well?

    I had a few sticky extractions on hotter loads, may have been the brass but I borrowed a small base die and it seemed to solve problem

    24" - N560 is good but RE26 is more temp stable. First 2 shots are the right, third went left. Around 0.3MOA.

    He wasnt using either of those powders tho.
    Been using Reloder 23 in my Kimber Hunter .280 AI (24 inch barrel) with 160gr Sierra TMK's and 58.5 grs gets me to 2958fps without pressure signs and consistent 3/4 MOA. Just got rifle back from Gunsmith who bedded / threaded so be interesting to see if it shoots any tighter. Also have 2kg of N560 to try as well.
