I have a ruger 280 that I am happy with as a deer rifle.
I am thinking about rebarreling with a custom barrela and contemplating changing to a 280 ackley at the same time. I am confused though as there are two versions. The Nosler Ackley and the older original. I have plenty of brass for the 280 so fireforming in the older ackley seems the way to go. But is there a benefit to the nosler version other than the available nosler ammo and brass? Can you fire fireform 280 ammo in the nosler version?
Any thoughts/ feeback would be appreciated.
