Best powder for 280 AI and 175gr bergers?

[PredatorSlayer]

Just got this 280 AI and want to start rolling my own. I used some unknown munitions 168’s on a moose hunt with a lot of success. Thought I would give the 175’s a go with handloads. Temp stable, accurate, with good velocity…what have you guys found that works?

Hear RL23 is supposed to be good.

I run rl26 with 160ab in mine.

Should work with the 175s

I wanted to work up a 175gr partition load this summer after drawing a bison tag. I had rl26, imr 7828ssc, and staball 6.5 on hand. I was a little surprised by the published staball data for a 175 from hodgdon, but did a quick saterlee test with each powder and got the most velocity out of stabal 6.5.

Accuracy and SD was great too
