What are your loads with 139/145 grain Barnes LRX or any 130-140 gr in a 284 caliber rifle? Specifically seeking 280AI data but will use what you have. Data seems to be hard to get from alliant or barnes. Thanks for your help. | ||

Wow! RL 23 must be nowhere near as popular as many have stated. | |||

I looked through my reloading manuals. R23 is not that popular for the 280 or the 7mm. Did you try calling Alliant see if they have done any test? R23 is a fairly new powder about 5 ys old. R16 and R22 appear to be the go too powders loads here that look interesting http://www.accuratereloading.com/280ai.html | |||

Your looking wrongs places. https://www.barnesbullets.com/...-Ackley-Improved.pdf My 280AI has lilja barrel and I tried 145gr LRX with R-17 and was so-so. I have 284 on long action so I can seat out to 3.250" and LRX shot real good in that rifle and that rifle one I really wanted to try. I've seen some of the data using R-23 but haven't tried any.

Yes thank you I have that page. No loads with the newer powders, RL 23 or RL 26. Am using H4831sc but wanted to try the Rl 23. | |||

Don't know if this helps but I am trying to work up a new .270 W load with Hornady SST 130 gn. I have a load already with H4831sc giving a bit more than 3000 fps. So far with RL23 I am getting nearly the same accuracy with slightly a lower charge but about 100 fps more MV. However, a bit more fine tuning required yet. Hunting.... it's not everything, it's the only thing. | |||

This may not help you but Speer has data for 280 using their 145gr bullet with R-23. https://www.speer-ammo.com/rel...78-ab6b-b612a093b141 VFW | |||

Maybe it is just too new? I am using it in my .270 Win. with 130 gr bullets ( no published data that I could find) and it performs better than anything else I have tried, best accuracy with velocity. I started with Re22 data, reduced it about 10% and worked up from there. In my .270 it is a little faster than Re22. You do need to chronograph to do this kind of work. C.G.B. | |||

a bit off topic: I've been using RL-26 in my Creedmoor with 140's and 147's and my 6.5 X 280 AI with 140's and cannot see a reason not to try some in my reg 280 AI (currently using IMR 7977). I have a can of RL-23 but have not used it in anything yet. Zeke | |||
