[QUOTE="SavageHunter11, post: 1734910, member: 100006"] 280 Ackley for sure. Just make sure your gunsmith knows what he's doing. I just finished building mine (should be posting the build here later this weekend) but it went back to the smith 3 times before he got it right. My smith only had Wildcat gauges and even after I specifically asked if he had the SAAMI spec (which he assured me he had) he still chambered it in the old wildcat spec stating that he just thought I didn't know what I was talking about. I had to bring him in factory loaded ammo from Nosler (because my handloads were "incorrect") before he would agree to change the specs. He then proceeded to tell me how stupid the SAAMI spec 280A.I. is compared to the good old wildcat version and that I was stupid to build it this way. To answer your question, yes he was very much a Fudd. So just make sure your gunsmith knows what's going on. Avoid the headache I went through. [/QUOTE]
