.280 ackley brass

[brokenharley711]

anyone know where i can get some new brass in .280 ackley? i can't seem to find any anywhere. i've got a new shilen barrel that will be here tomorrow and i need to send some brass off to hornady to get a modified case made so i can check the throat length before i bring it to the gunsmith in case i need to get a custom reamer made. anyone have any for sale? with hunting season closing in i'd even consider a partial lot(1/2 bag) if someone could part with some.

thanks

Boss,
Great idea! How do you like the 280AI compared to the 7-300win you were working with

bruno was out too. nosler says they expect to ship from the factory to retailers sometime in november. too late for me. just ordered a box of 20 nosler custom 280 ackley rounds for $55.. kind of expensive for 20 pieces of brass but thats wwhat you get for shooting goofy rounds.

Do not know yet-------280 AI is not finished yet plus it will have a 24 in tube vs the Warp 7 which has a 26in tube and holds more powder. The 280AI will be a wood stocked piece of work by
Chuck Grace not Speedy so I know the accuracy will not be quite as cutting. It will however, wear the nicest blank I own and be something I will want to sleep with every night!!!!!!!

Interesting how other's projects seem to run parallel.

I finished a 7-300WSM this past spring and now have it dialed in and ready for the start of deer season here. I have some locations picked out for some longer shots this fall.

I just ordered an action and will be getting started this winter on a true lightweight rifle. The goal is 7.5lbs with scope, and this will be a 280AI.

just bought 2 boxes (50ea) of the nosler 280ai brass from
OnlyOutdoorGear.com and it was literally there last 2 boxes. i went to google and typed in "nosler 280 ackley improved brass" and went to the "shopping" section and just started going through the vendors. i went through about 20 before i found any. here is a place that says they have some in stock Everything Hunters - Your Best Source for Hunting Supplies this place says they have them too Bulls Eye Marksman Gun Club good luck man.
