My reloading setup is still a work in progress, and am looking to pick up some factory 280ai ammo for the range and likely this hunting season (deer/elk) I’m leaning towards the federal ammo with the 168gr hybrid hunter in their “premium nickel plated” ammo. Anyone have any experience reloading this? Or is there another factory load with decent brass out there I should look at?
 
My 280AI likes the Nosler trophy grade 160g partition and then I have Nosler brass after I’m done. I have reloaded a fair amount of nickel coated brass in other calibers and haven’t had any issues. I do like the 280AI Nosler brass though so I would lean that way.
