Christmas brought me a new Nosler Patriot Model 48 in .280 Rem AI and 200 Nosler brass. I am just waiting on dies from Sinclair and I'll be ready to go. Any thoughts or experience from CWT members on this rifle and/or load would be appreciated.

Seems like an awesome cartridge. 7 mm bullets, very common parent case, enough capacity to produce plenty of velocity but still have long barrel life. I'm sure your going to love it.

It would be interesting to try Superformance powder. You potentially could get to 7 mag velocities. It has the same burn rate as H4831. Would look up the data in the Hodgdon Annual Manual and start out with the low charge weights specified for H4831 and increase by 1/2 grain increments from there. Watch carefully for pressure signs. Superformance works very well for me in the 270Win.
