280 Ackley Improved loads

[k80skeet]

I am looking for some pet loads for 280 Ack Imp for 120 -160 gr bullets. Thank for your help.

H4831ssc or R23 and 160’s in that case capacity is wonderful.

I have all above along with R22,R19,H4350,H4831 but looking for mostly 130 gr,140gr &150gr Loads that shoot in one little hole.

N 165 works well in a few I shoot .

Another vote for RL23 worked great with Fed 215 and 140 - 162 in 3 -280AI I loaded for.

HA HA.. loads dont shoot in one hole but the load is a big part of it… 4831 SC and 160 gr bullet are a match in my rifle… its easy to get a 280AI to shoot good

I forgot to add that to my previous suggestions.

That's a good group. Been wanting to try MagPro powder in mine. Guy give me half box of Berger 7mm VLD 180 gr to try in my gun. My wife bought me a box of factory ammo to try in it. Federal 280Al 168gr Classic Hunter ammo.

i was using the old standard H4831SC when i first built mine. then after looking though this web site someone suggested IMR7828SSC. and then another guy did, then another. So.. i gave it a whirl and i will be dammed if it didnt reduce the group size by half of what i was getting with H4831SC. Point being... Need to try some different powders.

Slower just a tad then 4831sc but a dash faster then H1000 and equal to RL22..
