280 Remington Load Data & Ballistics Calculator

Estimate chamber pressure and muzzle velocity for the 280 Remington with the free, in-browser MyLoads internal-ballistics simulator. The figures below are illustrative estimates from a physics model — not a recommended recipe. Always cross-check a current published loading manual.

280 Remington reference

Maximum average pressure (MAP)60,000 psi
Nominal case capacity67.0 gr H₂O
Groove / bullet diameter0.284 in (7.21 mm)

Example simulation illustrative

Powder
Alliant RL-22
Charge
47.9 gr
Barrel
22 in

Muzzle velocity

2,394 fps

Peak chamber pressure (interval, ±10% burn-rate)

28,859 – 36,919 – 45,937 psi

nominal is 62% of the 60,000 psi maximum average pressure

Illustrative example — every figure here is an estimate and can be wrong. Always consult a current published loading manual, and never trust these numbers on their own.
