Loading for 280 Ackley Improve for deer and hogs.
I got a new rifle in 280AI for father's day. I am looking for brass in 280AI Nosler brass. Does anybody have any deer loads? I will be using imr and H4831sc or RL22. A 139gr or 154gr SST . Maybe try a eld x bullet . Or a Berger VLD 140 or a 168gr. Or a nosler bt 140gr or a 140gr or 150gr A Bond. Nosler.

I Do not have any loads, too offer re: you 280 ai, but I have always, with any of my Ackley Improved cartridges, when such was not available, just started with the standard load data and worked up slowly, for the improved version. As for bullets, you will have to see which one your rifle likes and go from there. Bill K
