Hello Guys,

I am fairly new to this forum but I am an experienced reloader and I have a bunch of good rifles. I just bought a new rifle in .280. It is one of the calibers I have never messed with. It's a stainless Encore with a 24" barrel. I am going to mount a silver 3 x 9 scope and make it a Texas whitetail rig. I have read a lot on here about powder and some seem to prefer RL-22 for the .280. I want good velocity and good accuracy. Accuracy is the most important thing, no doubt. I have used a lot of RL-7 and RL-15 but have never tried RL-22. I do like all of the "log" powders and have almost all the powders that Hodgdon makes. What is your favorite powder hands down for the .280? I am starting with a clean slate. Thanks to all. This is a great forum. Let's keep it alive! BT
