[QUOTE="Forrest Ebert, post: 363589, member: 11524"] I too shoot the 280AI and as of now have a load of 63 grains of Retumbo with a 168 Berger VLD hunting bullet that I figure as I have not Chronographed it at about 2900-3000 fps. I have just picked up some RL17 and was going to test it in a 7mm-08 using the Berger 140 VLD hunting bullet with a starting load of 41 grains and move towards 45 or so until I either get pressure or the accuracy drops off as that is what I shoot for anyways . If I can pick up another 200-300 fps in the 7mm-08 then it would be shooting up there with the 280 remington and that isn't a bad thing either! I can tell you one thing is that the Berger Hunting VLD's does do there job on game as I harvested a 200+lb. Whitetail last November with one and it performed beautifully now the only problem is finding them to reload with as they are as hard to find as primers ! gun) [/QUOTE]
