I am still piecing together parts to try 140 gn Absolute Hammer in my 280AI 1:9 22". I found TWO CANS of IMR 4451 last week. That was an exciting moment. The only rifle powder I've seen this spring. It seems like most are recommending magnum primers, and today I finally found Remington 9-1/2M. People don't talk about them much. I also have the regular large rifle primers Federal Gold Match 210M , which is what I've always used in 280AI.
Would you start working on loads with either of these primers (and, which one?), or wait for more famous magnum primers like Fed 215 M?
I really want to get going and make sure I have a good shooter for fall. Three other copper bullets in stock if AH doesn't work; and could go back to 162 ELD-X if none of the coppers work. But I don't want to waste my time if men feel that the correct magnum primer is a prerequisite.
Thanks for all replies.
PS: Today I found a lone can of H 100V. That's the only option I have in a slower burn rate.
