[QUOTE="Forrest Ebert, post: 420573, member: 11524"] I shoot the 280 Ackley Imp. quite a bit and I have found that Retumbo works very well in your bullet weight range. I use 63.0 grains of Retumbo with a 168 grain Hunting VLD from Berger and have taken game with this also with excellent results. This load gives me right around 3050 fps out of a 26" Pac Nor Super match grade barrel with 3 grooves and a 1:9" twist. One item that is over looked is that when you have a charge of more than 60 grains you may need a magnum primer depending on what powder you choose to use. I hope this helps you with your loads. gun) [/QUOTE]
