No dog in the 280 / 280 Ackley fight. I do have 7mm MSM, 7mm WSM, and 7x57 though.

The MSM has been a piece of cake to work with. FF loads do right around 3200 in my rifle.

160 ABs run right at 3200 for me.

They shoot pretty decent for me.

This rifle has been pretty easy to work with. The 280/280 Improved and WSM are all great cartridges, but the MSM has been pretty easy to work with all in all. Responded pretty well across the board and seems to be an easy deal. I guess to me, it feels like a 7mm Rem Mag Improved. Longer neck, more case space and cases seem to last forever. I am crowding on 10 firings of my original 50 Hornady cases.
