[QUOTE="Greg Duerr, post: 542283, member: 32685"] .280 Ackley Improved is pretty much the same as the 7mm Rem. Mag. Once you go to the magnum calibers in a cooper rifle the price jumps by $1,000. I own a .243 Ackley Custom in a 700 action, which is great for antelope and deer, but If I want to hunt Elk!!?? My inlaws live in Carmen Idaho and want me to come up Elk hunting this year again...............in the past I just hunt deer. So for a non-magnum Caliber it seem like the .280 Ackley would be the way to go and shooting the 168gr Berger VLD would make for a great long range combination...............actually it would be better for Mule Deer.
