My experience with the 280 Ackley, has been that it equals or beats the ballistics of the 7mm Rem Mag, with less powder, less recoil, and not having to mess with a belted case.

Okay have a question regarding 280AI. I know there are 2 versions. The "original" and the SAAMI. I've heard (from a family member) you can use saami dies for the original you just need to put a .015 feeler gauge between the shell holder and die when setting it up but you cant use original dies for the saami. I'm asking because I have an original, in fact we think it was actually made by PO Ackley. But the dies are missing. I would like to reload for it without sending off for a set of custom dies. Ive got a fat fifty of reloads to get me going. Mine is stamped 7mm-06 Ackley Improved.

My dies and rifle were both made before the 280 Ackley became a factory round.

For the 30-30AI shooters . . . try using 375Win brass. You can get about 250fps over the standard 30-30Win.
