I've decided on loading 140 Bt so I'm wanting some advice on powder. I have Nosler brass, 210's Lr . I have IMR 4831, H4831SC, RL22, and N165, RL19, RL26
Anybody have some advice on a great load I can work up to? Just a mild accurate load.

Thanks

RL22 and RL26 Give GREAT Velocity and Accuracy out of my custom HVA 280 AI ! RJ
 
My go to powder for the 280 AI is RL22 with Federal GM215M primers. I'm loading 63.0 grs in my custom rifle and 61.0 grs in my wife's Nosler M48.
Both are below book Max of 64.0 grs and both will deliver sub .5 MOA accuracy.

In my 280ai, I am shooting a 160gr AccuBond at 2920fps with 60.1 gr reloader 26 (at 35 degrees F) and cci br2. I have not worked up to pressure with reloader 26 as this load will do sub-moa if I do my part

I tried R22, N165, and IMR4831 with 140 BT, all gave excellent accuracy. Think I'll load up some R22 for hunting for now. Thanks
63gr/ R22 .5 grp
62gr/ N165 .5 grp

My brother uses plain old H4831 with 140’s and 150’s. Not quite as fast as 26, but it’s been very accurate and about 3050 with 150 Scirrocos. Nice thing is he never has to search far for H4831SC any time of the year.
