Does anyone have a 280 AI load they like and would share? Need to work one up for a Fierce Carbon Rogue.

I doesn’t appear that Lapua has any 280 AI brass. Best I can find is Peterson. Is there anything better out there I’m missing?

I’ve used Peterson as well as Nosler brass with good results.

139LRX H4350 56gn right at 3000fps
143 Hammer Hunter, N560 62.5 gn. 3150fps

Thanks! Do you have a preference between the Peterson and Nosler?

I like them both equally well. I have two separate 280 rifles and like having the two separate brasses, that way I know when I pick up a piece of brass which rifle it has been shot in

That makes sense. What rifles do you have?

Fierce Rage and Cooper 52

Do you use standard book COAL for the fierce or something specific to the rifle?

I did seating depth testing. Using the Barnes method of starting 0.05 off and then going deeper into the case by 0.025 increments. Ended up somewhere around 0.125 or 0.150 off.
