[QUOTE="CCAguns, post: 3089950, member: 15399"] 280AI will shoot very well with your H4831. I see many folks using slower burning powders which may be advantageous for longer bullets and barrels. I enjoyed the fact that the 280AI could shoot that ammo or 280Remington which was very available back in the 1980s when I built mine. Not so available anymore, but still somewhat advantageous. Had a buddy who had his luggage get lost by the airlines on a trip to west Texas. Ranch manager had some 280Rem ammo and my buddy killed three animals after sighting in with that ammo. 280AI kicks less than the 28Nosler and is quieter. However, consideration should be given to your situation. Hunting or target? Range? Desired barrel length? Bullet? My 21” barreled 280AI throws a 160gr Nosler Partition or Accubond at 2950 fps and shoots cloverleafs with either 4831 or R19. If you’re opting for a much longer bullet and 26” barrel, you’d probably be better off with a slower powder and maybe even magnum primers for the 28 Nosler. [/QUOTE]
