Cant find any 280 ackley ammo, i dont reload so was thinking of grabbing 280 rem and sight it in for hunting. Anyone know if the accuracy will be shaky with the 280 rem?
I have a custom .280 Imp. (RCBS version), that I have been shooting .280 Rem. ammo in exclusively. Last week, I chronoed an old supply of Federal .280 Vital-Shok ammo, with the Nosler Accubond 140 gr., that went 3112 fps. I shot two, three-shot 100 yd. groups measuring .85" out of my Ruger #1, which makes me very happy, accuracy-wise.
About the best I have been able to do with this rifle, and fire-formed handloads with this bullet, is 3175 fps. For me, the answer is pretty easy- shoot the factory .280 stuff!
