[QUOTE="Sykes, post: 1601773, member: 77814"] I bought a 52 Timberline 280AI and had a very hard time finding a load it would shoot sub moa, not even Coopers proof load would shoot very well, defiantly not 1/2 moa. Berger 168 vlds and 4831sc was right at moa and my best load so far. I tried several different bullets and several different powders with nothing else promising. Finally tried the 143 hammer hunter and got the 1/2" groups I was wanting. The rifle shoots great to 500 yards with that bullet and 4831sc. RL16 is supposed to give more velocity and was recommended to try with the 143 hammer hunter. I finally found some but haven't tried any yet. 4831sc is giving me 3120fps and that combo killed two elk last fall. [/QUOTE]
