    280 Ackley Improved

    I just won a Savage 110 chambered in 280 AI.
    Anyone on here shoot one? Any favorite bullets? Powders?
    I will work up my own load. Just seeing what’s working for you. Maybe I can save myself some headaches.
    Thank you in advance.

    Right now I’m working with 162gr Hornady interlocks with RL22 and IMR7828ssc.

    I built one, FN 98 Mauser action, Krieger 1:8 barrel, Timney trigger, B&C Medalist stock, Speed-Loc firing pin and spring, Timney Buehler style safety, EGW 20 MOA rail, Vortex rings and a IOR Valdata 10x scope. I'm running Nosler brass with H4831 and 175-180gr pills.

    Have you got a picture of that rifle?

    I changed the rings and safety since the pic was taken but otherwise that's it.

    Beautiful rifle! I love Mausers. Ive got a 257 Roberts AI built on an FN Supreme. My 280 Ackley is a Smith Corona 1903A3 Springfield with a Douglas barrel.

    I currently own 3, the FN .280AI, a Flaig Ace 6.5x55 Swede, and a Brazillian 1908 in 35 Whelen AI. Someday I'll have my dads Nazi proof marked .338-06 but hopefully not anytime soon.

    First I’d like to apologize to the OP for highjacking his thread. This will be my last post, so others can comment on their 280 ackley loads. Ive got a nazi Mauser in 257 Roberts, a VZ24 in 338-06 Ackley, Charles Daley in 375 Whelen improved, and a Turkish 98 with the original 8x57 barrel. Ive got several small ring Mausers too, but Ive already abused this thread enough.
