[QUOTE="sw282, post: 2079533, member: 93980"] Kenny Jarrett became famous building 280 ACKLEYS. Next to a 300 Jarrett, its still his most popular wildcat ctg. He built one for me in the early 80s that shot well. Then Nosler came out with their new Ballistic Tips in 30cal and 270cal. l got some 130grs for my 270Win and went hunting. They were Thor's Hammer. lt was Bang/Flop from then on. l never went back to my 280AI. Not even when a 7mm NBT became available. The 280 Al was a good down payment on a new 4wd Pup. Nosler sells 280ACKLEY factory loaded ammo. Check their website. There is always the fear of having a gun without ammo. That fear is greatly amplified with a Wildcat ctg. Kenny worked in Parker Ackley's gun shop before starting his own in 1979. Kenny has quite a bit of Ackley's personal load/gun data notes. Knowing Ackley has quite a long list of conversions l asked why there wasn't one for a 270 Win. Kenny said Ackley's 270 version offered little or no improvement over Winchesters' 270. Like a good dog, you just can't improve PERFECTION [/QUOTE]
