Thanks for the weight.
Sorry if these are dumb questions but is the twist 1-9 or 1-8.25? I haven't seen a twist listed as a range before. Would this barrel be a good candidate for a 280ai?
I developed a load with staball and 145 lrx for my 7mm-08. It shoots pretty good at 0.9 MOA and 2850 fps out of a 22 inch barrel. I developed another load with H4350 that is 2720 fps and 0.5 MOA. Gonna try developing a new load with 131 hammer hunters next.
I have a bunch of cheddite 209 primers I could help you out with. I think they are the magnum variety. I'm actually in Grand Junction but I do occasionally travel to Denver. I bought a brick of 1k 209s for my muzzleloader and it is a lifetime supply. Shoot me a PM if you're interested.

If you're interested, I have a brand new set of 1 inch Talley medium with the anti-cant bubble ring for a Kimber. I had it on my Kimber Montana but switched to leupold rings and bases. Only shot it once at the range.
Try 90 grains of powder by volume for a starter. Do you have the black horn 209 breech plug or just the original? I think your muzzleloader can use up to 125 or 150 grains by volume as a maximum. Probably should read the owner manual. Most people like to use magnum 209 primers with bh209...
I'd recommend getting an ebike from a established and reputable bike company like giant, trek, rocky mountain bikes, specialized, etc. They have all been in the bike business decades longer than any of the "hunting specific" branded ebikes. Way better components and design, can be setup and...
