I always had good luck with RL19. 56g of R-19 gets me 2989 (avg.) fps out of my Sako AV .280 with 0.5"-0.75" groups depending on me. 57g of R-19 got me 3052 (avg.) fps but the groups opened up to over 1.0"

When is some a-hole going to comment about a 7mm-08?
Obey lawful commands. Video interactions. Hold bad cops accountable. Problem solved.

I've been playing with a heavier bullet in my .280 with elk in mind. Seems my rifle likes the 160 gr. old two core Speer Grand Slams. With a max load of long gone Winchester Magnum Rifle powder (WMR), Winchester brass and WLR primer 2900 FPS + with groups in the .75" to .85" range are easily doable. Should work just fine on an elk if I can book a hunt.

Doesn't quite get to 3000fps but shoots tiny little groups.

55gr IMR 4831 works very well with the 140gr. Rifle may be slower or faster than 3000.but very close.

Translation: If it is a bullet that can be stabilized in a 1 in 6 twist or slower, it is a bullet far to inferior for the likes of myself. I need all the BC I can get to compensate for my many lacking areas and ghetto peashooters.

In my Ruger M77 .280 Rem with 22" bbl, 57gns RL19 and 140gn Accubond produced 2925fps. Other good performers which gave very similar velocity were RL22 and IMR4831.
