.280 Ackley Improved
« on: January 23, 2005, 12:01:49 PM »
I was wondering if anyone has a decent 140gr. load for this caliber. This is a T/C Encore,(one of many)
Thanks for the replies,

280 Ackley

In MY RIFLE, I load 62.5 grains of RL-22 & 140 Grain Nosler B.T.

This thing will drop Whitetails @ 400 Yards like eating pudding!

Watch for pressure. I seem to have the best performance when working at or near the upper limits.

Just a GREAT cartridge to handload and shoot!

Thanks,
