Anyone shoot a .280 Remington?
I have a Remington Model 700 Mtn Rifle chambered in .280 Rem. It shoots the Hornady SST 139 grain really well. I have never re-loaded ammo but am about to try an learn it. I pretty much have to buy my ammo online. Stores just don't carry it. Every now and then when I make it to Basspro or Sports Academy they sometimes have some corelocks. So, is reloading your own ammo very hard? Easy to blow yourself up? I just ordered " The ABC's of Reloading " so that should get me started I hope. Thanks, Charlton

Reloading is not hard and is quite safe when done properly. I shoot a Thompson Center Contender in 7TCU that cannot be bought. I've been reloading these cartridges for about 25 years using an old RCBS hand press. Do your homework and work up your loads. I would load 5ea. rounds of different bullets and powder charges until I found the combination that worked the best.
