[QUOTE="novaman64, post: 1120606, member: 16158"] Pickup my custom 280ai today from my FFL. Been a long wait but finally here! That being said I have 100 rounds of Norma brass, already prepped and primed with WLR primers. I bought a box of blem 150gr bonded spitzer boat tails from Midway because they were cheap and didnt feel like fire forming with expensive 168 VLD's... H4831SC is what I will be shooting my AI loads with, but its been scarce around me, and I only have 1lb of it, so wanted to fire form using some powder I had on the shelf that Im not currently using for any of my other cartridges... So that leaves me with Reloader 17, Varget and H4350. I have never had a ackley before or had to fireform so looking for advice on what powder and load. My old reloading book doesnt have 150 gr bullets, only 145 and 160. Varget with a 145gr bullet is saying a min load of 42 and a max load of 46. For fireforming where in that range do I want to be?
