[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 1768285, member: 68875"] H1000 is a great powder for the .280AI. Not the fastest speeds, but super stable, accurate, and clean burning. I use it for my personal 160 TMK loads. I would start around 56.0gr. Work up slowly. I am quite a bit over that charge, and getting 2991fps. You can check Berger or Hodgdon's load data for the .280Rem and start with the max load. Also, they probably have .280AI load data available too. Another great powder is RL23. I just finished a buddy's .280AI w. 160 TMKs and getting 3025fps with absolutely no pressure from a 26" 1:9" barrel with only 24 rounds down it. It is a Tikka, so has to fit in the mag, but in a longer mag, could seat the bullet out further if needed. I use RL23 under a 175 Elite @ 2975fps for my main hunting load. It is at the top end, but safe in my rifle. [/QUOTE]
