I am looking to save a little money experimenting with different powder and different bullets. I have a Rugger M77All Weather Hawkeye in .280 remington. Does anyone out there have recipes that produce a half way accurate hunting round? I dont want to shoot a bullet that weighs less than 150 grains. Thanks for any help.

I have the same question. Here is what I've tried so far.
160 grain Speer Grand Slam
Tried AA4350 & RL-19.
CCI BR-2 primers on both, Rem 9 1/2 primers also with AA4350.
C.O.A.L = 3.300"
Best accuracy was with 54.5 grains of RL-19, velocity was 2,710 fps (24-inch barrel). This will be my spring bear load if I don't get a chance to try something else.
I don't think the speer data for the AA4350 is correct.
140 grain Accubond.
Tried RL-19 & IMR4831
CCI BR-2 primers, C.O.A.L. = 3.350"
Higher velocities with IMR 4831, but best accuracy at max load with RL-19 (57 grains).
