[QUOTE="slas, post: 1977711, member: 103784"] I've been reading about RL23 for the 280ai for a few months now, and with the improvement in temp stability I've decided to give it a go. I'll be picking up 3 lbs later today. I know many believe RL26 to be the "pixie dust" of powders, buts for my mainly hunting purposes I'll always take consistency over speed. I love the caliber and want to work up loads in my Cooper. To start with I have some 140gr Nosler Ballistic Tip and 160 AccuBonds on hand. I also have a bunch of Federal 215 and 210 primers. There seems to be more info on the 160gr than the 140gr out there but I plan on using to 140's this season on whitetail so looking for some load suggestions from the group. I've spent quite a bit more time doing load development on my 260 and 243 over the previous years, so I'm working on bucking my tendency to grab one of them and instead solely use the Cooper this season for my whitetail hunts. Thinking about using the 10 shot load development process also, but I know that'll start a whole new conversation/debate. All load suggestions are greatly appreciated. [/QUOTE]
