280AI and Berger 168gr Classic Hunter.

I will have to email them. My Berger manual don't have any 280AI data. I looked back on some older data. Is the RL19 to fast burning for 168 gr bullets? I have 8 pds of it on hand.

I've started near the top of 280 Remington loads when working up for my AI from manuals and never had a problem.
7mm SAUM loads will be pretty darn close to the 280 AI as far as capacity goes.
I would say that RL 19 is too fast for 168's.

Thanks berger sent me data on 168gr Classic Hunter. And 180 gr VLD hunting bullets. But I won't use the VLD. I want to try the hybrid bullets. I have killed with VLD 140 hunting bullets with my 280 rem. And 168gr VLD hunting bullets with my 7 mag.
