I have a QuickLOAD request if possible.

280 Ackley with 169 Hammer Hunters and H4350 and H4831 using a 24" 1:8 tw barrel.

I read that Hammers were in an update, if not that's alright.

Thanks a bunch
 
RL22 is my go to powder in the 280AI. I did find an extremely accurate load for the 168 gr ABLR with IMR7828SSC that went .056" at 100 yards but the velocity was pretty slow. MRP and Hunter might be alternative powders to try if you can get them.

Thanks for the info. I'd have liked to try a load with H1000 and the 169s but I could only find a pound so I skipped on it. I have lots of IMR 4350, a pound of IMR 4831, 3 lbs of H4831, and a pound of H4350. Really wish I had enough primers for all this
