[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1289166, member: 30902"] Similar but the load data isn't identical so be sure and download their 2017 and 2016 powder manuals and as always start low and work up. Just looked at the 2017 manual, they don't show RL23 loads for the 280 but they do show RL17, 19, 22, and Power Pro-4,000-MR When I wanted to try RL23 for my .260 I used RL22 data and backed off a couple of grains and worked up. The one problem with RL23 is that it's a bulky powder and I ended up with compressed loads for all of the bullets and powder weights I tried. Some of them are "really compressed". The problem with that is that it can result in some of your bullets pushing back out to relieve the compression if you don't want to crimp them after seating. That shouldn't be a problem in the 06 case but keep it in mind just in case. [/QUOTE]
