anyone have any good shooting loads for the 280 ackley??
Very hot indeed. My Remington 700 shows pressure signs and hard ejection at 62 grains same bullet...After fire forming, I shoot 66.0 gr of RL-22 with a Sierra 140 pro hunter. One hole, but have not chono yet. Please work up to this, it is hot!

62.5 grains of H4831sc with 140 grain Nosler Accubond bullet. 3050 fps. Super accurate 1/2" at 100 yds. Not as hot a load as RL 22 but with my experience RL 22 changes point of impact with changes in temp. I was getting 3200 fps with RL 22 but got tired of the inaccuracy in temperature changes.........59 grains of H4831sc is also very accurate for me and a very mild recoil at 2930 fps.
I'm loading 61.5gr RL-22, 160gr Accubond, fed 210M primer, 2940fps. 24in, 1:10 twist barrel....I could not stabilize the 168gr VLD in this rifle.
