280AI bullet suggestions

[Willow]

Anyone out there running a 280AI in F-Open by any chance? I just received a 32" Bartlein, HV profile, 1:8.5 twist which I plan to run a 280AI in a couple of months. I've got the dies and brass but was just wondering what bullets shooters are using in F-class. I've got 180gr Berger VLDs but was also planning on trying 180gr Hybrids(never tried them in my 284). Any tips would be appreciated.

I've shot 180 Hybrids and 183 sierras in mine. Mine seems to like the sierra's better.

Mine shot Berger 180 hybrids very well.

I built mine before the 180 gr pills were available. Mine likes Berger 168's over RL22. Consistent out to 1400 yards.

I shoot the 180 Hybrids in my 280AI. It likes them a lot.

I shoot the 180 hybrids. I can get ~.5" groups (5-shot) @ 3030fps, though I'd like smaller groups.

What powders are you all using? I'm at 65.5 gr of 7977 right now.
