[QUOTE="Tnwhip, post: 558552, member: 32195"] I just finished rebarreling my rifle to 280 Ackley. It started life as a 25-06, 30 years ago. I had not shot it much in the last 10 years because it had lost accruacty. I wanted something a little better. I got a 26 1/2" barrel. With Your 22" barrel You probably, want get the extra Velocity. Your brass may last longer. You will have to fire form your cases, an extra step. They say your fire formed loads will be as accurate as your fire formed loads. I have not tried 280 brass in mine yet. You can buy 280ack Nosler brass but they are short. You have to make sure what reamer your smith uses. SAAMI Ackley or the old Ackley.
