Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Custom Rifles & Wildcats 280 ackley do or dont?

I vote do because I have hunted with one for almost 20 years. I love it and it is my go to rifle for everything I hunt. I shoot other calibers like the 257 Roberts and 30.06 but I like my 280 AI for hunting. What I like about the 280 AI: very accurate, manageable recoil, plenty of range for everything I hunt, easy to reload for, brass life is good and brass is easy to fire-form from 280 brass, great bullet selection in 7mm. It may not be perfect but it's pretty dang close. You won't be disappointed if you build one. If you don't reload Nosler offers a couple of good factory loads but you really need to load your ammo to reach its full potential.
