6.5x280 Ackley Improved Load Information

[Miller1]

I just finished having my 6.5x280 Ackley Improved Rifle build and I'm needing some load data if there's any out there. I guess I will start with some lower charges for 140 grain Berger in 280 Ackley loads and go from there. If anybody has any suggestions I'm all ears? The rifle is 7 pounds without the scope and rings.

 

[CJS-6.5]

Just start with 6.5-284 data. It will be low and safe. Then run it up. H1000 should work well.

I wish Nosler would offer this round, seems like it would be so easy for them, yes I know about 6.5PRC, yada yada, market may be too small.
BTW, that's a beautiful rifle!

Am I corrrect in assuming that you're talking about a 280AI necked down to 6.5? If so, I'd reference 6.5-06 data and develop accordingly.
