[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 1738937, member: 69478"] Both are great cartridges. If I was building a rifle, I would go with the .280 Ackley. There’s no disadvantage to it over the standard .280 Remington. Ammo is a little more expensive, and not as common. But the regular old .280 isn’t very common and doesn’t have many ammo options to begin with. You can always reload for the .280 Ackley and it will be nearly the same price to handload for it compared to the .280 Remington but it will be more powerful and offer better ballistics. If you’re buying a factory rifle, then I would be open to both and be more worried about what rifle you find in either cartridge and what rifle suits you better. Both are fine cartridges. [/QUOTE]
