.280 factory loads - suggestions and suppliers

[Glyn]

I have a .280 and I am looking for suggestions and suppliers for recommended loads. I am looking for heavier bullets for hunting Moose. I have a few boxes of Winchester Supreme 160 gr, but as usual you find a nice load and they discontinue it and only do the 140 gr now.

Please do NOT recommend Core-Lokt, but I'll pretty much listen to anything else.

Federal Premium comes in 150gr Partitions, 140gr Accubonds, 140gr TSX, and 160gr Trophy Bonded Tip.

Any of these loads are good for moose sized game...

They also come in 140gr Ballistic Tip, but avoid these for heavy game.

I would use the Barnes 140 gr TSX or the new Trophy Bonded Tip, both made by Federal Premium.
