Glad you called RCBS. You got the typical great customer service that they have given over decades. RCBS is a first class company that stands behind their products.

Congratulations on your success Ron. Looks like that young man could throw those big deer over his shoulder and casually walk out of the woods.
Nice work fellas.

I built my 280 AI almost 20 years ago. My gunsmith told me to use RL22 and Magnum primers. That combo has delivered stellar performance. As a result, RL22 is my go to powder. The only exception is the 168 ABLR with IMR7828SSC.

That S&W 657 41 Mag would be awesome for WT deer. I'd look at the Hornady 210 gr XTP. I would also find a coated hard cast lead bullet and load for practice and potentially use it for hunting.
