[QUOTE="TOM H, post: 409439, member: 306"] I've tried R-22 over the years in varies rifles and groups were good but velocity was questionable (slow) so I crossed it off on powders to try. I've had good luck with Hodgdon and Nolser reloading data so for my new 280AI I decided on IMR-7828. I'd also check Sierra manual and they also listed IMR-7828 as one of the top powders with 160gr bullets. All three manual velocity max loads was 2800fps up to 3000fps which is a big spread and that could be the rifles used to test those loads. I started out with 56.5grs/IMR-7828-160gr AB-Fed 210M-@2828fps worked up to 59.5gr@3038fps then 60.5gr@ 3088fps groups were good. I then changed over to R-17 started at 53gr same bullet and primers as above got 2834fps worked up to 56gr @ 3046fps again good groups. I'm shooting both loads at 200/300yds now and I like the load density with R-17 and I want to try some TSX and maybe Berger 168VLD hunting bullet before I decide on a load. I've got my first elk hunt 2nd week of Oct time getting short. Well good luck [/QUOTE]
