I agree with you Charlie. I'm getting 3000 fps with the 160 gr AB and BT from my 24" Hart barrel. The long throat and the Remington long/magnum action allows me to seat the bullets way out there and giving me more case capacity. JD338

Keep us posted on your load development. Another option is the 150 gr class of bullets. They shoot flat and hit hard. I run the 150 gr ABLR with RL22 . I'm getting 3100 fps and sub .5 MOA consistently. They absolutely crush deer where they stand. JD338

My go to powder for the 280AI with 140-160 gr bullets is RL22. Accuracy is excellent. Of your powders, I think I would start with IMR4831with 140 gr bullets. For the 160 gr bullets, H4831SC and RL19 would be a good place to start. You should be able to get close to 3000 fps. JD338

Paul, Speaking of .308 220 gr RN SP bullets, my Nosler M21 308 Win has a 22" 1:10 twist and shoots the Sierra 220 gr RN SP very well. The target is 100 yds and the gong is 250 yds. My MV was 2448 fps which is faster than what Remington shows for their 30-06 220 gr SPCL load. JD338

Looks like you took a pretty good impact Vince. Hope you get clearance from your cardiologist and head to Africa next month. JD338

IMR4350 is a great choice for the 270 Win. H4831 is the classic powder. JD338

My wife shot a nice 8 pt a few evenings ago. He was chasing a doe and stopped in the food plot giving Sue a 40 yard broadside shot. She sent the 100 gr Sevr Titanium Hybrid 2.0 from her Ravin R26X on its way right through both lungs. He went 40 yards and piled up. JD338

Congratulations Rich! Good to see you back buddy. JD338

I think the 200 gr PT would work perfectly for what you are hunting and the ranges you will be shooting. JD338

Fotis, Congratulations on your opening day cow elk. You absolutely hammered that cow. Nice shooting buddy. JD338

Maybe just ask for recommended powders in your search. JD338

Pretty close between the two powders. Interesting research. 👍 JD338

Looks great. That should dump the biggest deer with ease. JD338

Looks like the 340 is a little ruff on those TTSX bullets. JD338

Great hunt. Congratulations to you and your crew on another successful hunt. JD338
