RL 19 / RL 23 / IMR 7828ssc / IMR 4831 / Win StaBall 6.5 and H-1000 are also some powders that have performed well in both 280AI I have owned and loaded for. I agree with JD338, that of the ones you mentioned, id start with the H4831sc. In my rifle the 165 TGK shot its best with IMR 7828ssc...

I've used the 8mm 170gr Semi SP over Ramshot BigGame in my 8x57. I've also got a great load for my 338-06 with the 200gr HotCor and H-380. I've killed deer with both of them and they kill deer very well. The thing about Speer is they make good hunting bullets for a great price.

NYDAN, Thanks for the insight. I appreciate you giving me some direction on some places to start. I do intend on calling NH Fish and Game, and I hope to speak to a biologist in regards to see if they have any data or info about reproducing populations as I'm not really looking to make a 14hr...

I'm in the planning phases of a small stream blue line fishing trip to New Hampshire / Maine in search of native brook trout. It's always been a goal of mine to catch a brookie from every state from Maine to Georgia in my lifetime. To date, I have caught brookies in Maryland, WV, Virginia, and...

Try LEVERevolution, CFE223, TAC, or Win748. Keep us posted on the load work up. I want to try that bullet in my 223rem as well. I'd like to eventually try to work up a load for it.
