    Kimber Montana Ascent 280AI Load Development

    Starting on this and off the bat the chamber is tighter than the Forbes (won't chamber FL sized rounds that the Forbes has no problem with).

    New Norma brass also tight with a very firm bolt close.

    Set up FL and slowly sized and test chambering and now have brass comfortably fit. Upside is less powder likely required compared to the Forbes for hopefully similar results. Will try some RE26 and 162gn ELDMs ASAP.

    Not sure if best to use standard or magnum primer...
