[QUOTE="DragonsBane, post: 338280, member: 21824"] Tom, I think I'm going to take your advice and step up to a 280. After some research, it looks like my goal will be acheived alot easier with the .280 AI. ANd I will still have some room to grow at a later date. RL25 seems to work best in a 24 inch barrel. I found a post from a guy who is big time into the Ackley's. He has a 30-06 AI moving a 180 grain at 3000 fps with 66 grains of RL25. Now it would seem that 2700 fps would be easily acheivable with a similar load even in a standard .280. The only problem with the 06 load is that it is a max load and beats up primer pockets. So it looks like its a .280 or a .280 AI. Thanks everyone for the help. BTW, I found out that I will need about 32 MOA to get to 1000 yards with this cartridge. So a Bushnell 4200 with a 20 MOA base will work out just fine. [/QUOTE]
