[QUOTE="Deputy819, post: 1718724, member: 98025"] Bigeclipse, The below article should be of some help to you as far as explaining what Nosler did with the.280AI. [URL]https://faq.nosler.com/index.php?action=artikel&cat=32&id=39&artlang=en[/URL] I use Nosler .280AI brass for mine and Redding “.280 Ackley Improved” dies (Type S Match Bushing). Here’s a link from Redding explaining the die situation. [URL]https://www.redding-reloading.com/tech-line-a-tips-faqs/133-280-changes[/URL] I think a 1-9 twist would serve you well concerning your stated bullet weight range. Mine is a 1-9 and I shoot Berger 168gr vld’s with no problems (Savage 110/Criterion barrel). I’m certainly NO EXPERT, but If you intend this build to only be a “woods hunting rifle” (with no need for a high BC bullet) in my opinion you may want to consider other chamberings better suited for “woods hunting” applications? Good luck, Sir. [/QUOTE]
