[QUOTE="dougduey, post: 2600131, member: 33159"] The Berger’s you have on hand will work great. H4831 is THE tried and true powder in the 280AI. But, RL23 is nothing but fantastic. I’m on my second barrel. Ran the 150 LRAB at 3100 fps and 162 ELDX at 3000 fps in that barrel. Now I run the 120 Hammer Hunter at 3541 fps and the 154 SST at 3127 fps. All listed above were 0.5 moa or better. You don’t need to run the 170-180 bullets in the AI. It works better with bullets under this weight. If you want to run those, get a 7 RemMag or bigger. I’ve got a gunsmith friend that’s built many 280AI’s. He’s settled on the 150 LRAB due to its performance (both short and long range). He says it’s a “perfect storm” in this cartridge. I know many other that love the 168 Berger. [/QUOTE]
