Recommendations on Powder for 162gr ELD-X in 280AI?

[HikeHunt61]

I finally got some Hornady ELD-X 162s to try in my 280AI. I have a great load with 150 Sierras that shoot <0.5 MOA- using 4831SC. I'm going to try two powders with varying velocities with the 162s, 4831SC will be one. Here are the other powders I have available to pick for the second:

- RL 19
- RL 22
- MagPro
- Norma MRP

I also have some old IMR4831 and IMR-4350, but wasn't excited about using them. Anybody got a recommendation- would love to hear it...

Why the change from Sierra's? mtmuley

Just playing. I wanted something with a higher BC, just to see how they perform at 400-500 yards vs Sierras. I love my Sierras tho- they are loaded and ready for elk hunt in Wyoming this year.

I shoot RL-22 in mine with 162 ELDX and 168 ABLR with pretty good results. ----SS
