    Re: 280 Ackley Improved reloading w/ Superperformance Looking for a target load using 162gr A-Max at around 3000fps and any good hunting load for antelope, deer or elk. I would like an all around load so I would appreciate anything you are willing to offer and .25MOA is great.Thanks

    280 Ackley Improved reloading w/ Superperformance

    I am having a rifle built in a 280AI and was wondering if anyone has had good success with Superperformance Powder. It has similar burn rates to RL22 and H4831. I am open to all powders though. Thanks, Ed

    280 Ackley Improved optimal twist rates

    Re: 280 Ackley Improved optimal twist rates The 162 A Max is what I plan on shooting primarily as the lightest weight bullet and it is nice to see that a 1:9 twist works well the heavier bullets. My plan for lighter weight bullets and smaller game is to build a 260 remington. Thanks, Ed

    280 Ackley Improved optimal twist rates

    Re: 280 Ackley Improved optimal twist rates Sounds like everyone likes the 1:9. Does anyone have experience with Hornaday 162gr Amax or 168gr Bergers.

    .280 Ackley Improved Feeding Problems

    I've been looking for a new project and like the .280 AI. Flat shooting near 7mm RM performance with reloads without the recoil. Although I have heard there are feeding issues in most bolt actions! Is this true or is it one persons interpretation of smooth feeding or is it true in certain bolt...

    I have been researching the .280 AI and like what I have read so far. Although I read that the .280 AI has trouble feeding in most bolt actions. Is this really a problem or is it one persons issue or a limited issue in certain setups. ED

    Re: What is wrong with the 6.5mm Rem Mag? do you know what kind of barrel life i should expect from the 6.5 RM? From what I have read it is better than the some others because if the lower powder charges, and 25 degree head angle. From my rudimentary knowledge it shouldn't be a barrel burner...

    Re: What is wrong with the 6.5mm Rem Mag? Please do, I am really interested in this cartridge, lower powder charge and low cup pressures should mean longer barrel life. I also found a website that has a universal magnum case die that resizes the belted area and claim that cases will last up...
