Default Favourite powder for 280 AI

Hi folks, dusted off the 280 improved and shot some rounds that I’d made in the past. 180 berger’s with 56.5gn IMR 7828 this load shoots really well in this rifle.
Unfortunately I’m getting pretty low on the 180 Berger’s but do have quite a few of the 168’s. I’ve never had the best of luck with these. I’ve tried retumbo H1000 and IMR 7828.
Just would like to hear what has worked for you. Thanks.

Default 280

IMR 4350 and Reloader 19, have worked well for me.

Awesome. I actually have quite a bit of IMR 4350. Any idea what kind of velocity you got?

Mine really likes 4955 with 140s but that’s probably not an option for you at this point. 4831sc is close

Spend the time and find some 7828 SSC. As much as I like 4831, 7828 really is the Schizel.

Currently using rl22 with 150 eldx. Now trying 4831sc and 145 lrx. Having trouble grouping as well as the eldx. I saw a post from a guy from bc and he was shooting lights out with rl26.
