. Gonna beat the hell outta my 280 AI for packing 11lbs naked this one hits 8lbs 2oz field ready.
nv: How did you end up with an 11 pound 280AI? What is that for?
Your lightweight Mashburn is a "280AI with FF loads,and with full house loads will run rings and circles around the 280AI,so sounds like you are set.
We found 7828 worked well enough but did not show any better, if as well, as H1000,RL25,and retumbo. Keep in mind most all this work was with 160-175 gr bullets.
I have seen no reason to move from H1000, although it does vary among lots (so does Retumbo),and recent lots seem slower. I'd buy an 8 pounder.
