Anyone load for the 280AI on here? Was looking for some load data with RL23. I've avoided the Reloader powders due to temp sensitivity but the RL23 is suppose to be the fix and a good one for this caliber. I currently have some Nosler BT's in 140gr and AccuBonds in 160gr. Also have both Federal 215 or 210 to work with.

I have for almost 30y, I've only used IMR powders in it though.
I've done some development with the 168 VLD's using H4831sc and Retumbo and have a few good loads to go but also wanted to shoot the 140's this year on our OK whitetails.

I have decided the temp sensitivity issues some powders have may not have it for all calibers or all loads.
Varget is supposed to not be very temp sensitive.

It is the worst offender of opening groups for me when temps change in my .223, .243 and .308.
It is so bad I hate using Varget.
IMR4064 from 17 degrees to 100+ temps will print the same group size for me and in the same spot.
