I've got a .280 Ackley with a 22" Brux, 1-9 twist, shot suppressed 100% of the time. My loads are all with Nosler brass and CCI BR2s, velocities are with a Magneto speed, also in an accurate node. More speed has been available, to the detriment of accuracy many times: RL-26, 160 accubond at...

My .280 Ackley has a 22" brux and wears a Tbac Ultra 7, speeds are as follows: RL-26 Loads 168 VLD @2875 165 Sierra Gamechanger @2890 162 ELDx @2950 160 Accubond @3000 143 Hammer Hunter @ 3150 H4831sc Loads 154 SST @2905 140 Accubond @3000 (Notes: I've had great success with RL-26 both speed...

I've got a Ruger in .327 Fed Mag and it is fun to shoot. Haven't reloaded for it yet but will, when I run through my factory stuff. I will concur that I do shoot a bunch of 32 H&R in it and it shoots it very accurately. Tagging in for future load data if anybody has any. Heck, in this...

I've had good luck with the Nosler .280 Ackley brass. I've got one lot of brass that has 10 firings on it and still going strong, primer pocket is still tight. I don't hotrod it though, shoot the 168 VLD at 2875, 22" pipe.

My plinking/fun load for .44 mag is: 200 grain cast/plated WW case CCI Mag Pistol 13.5 grains of Blue Dot Pretty accurate and light recoil

So far so good, I've killed two big hogs (200+) and a big 180 lb deer this year. All bang flops and good exits on shoulder and head shots.

I've got a .280 AI with a 22" Brux, 1-9 twist. 168 VLD, RL-26, 2,875 160 Accubond, RL-26, 2,980 fps. 143 Hammer Hunter, RL-26, 3,160 fps. Covers all my needs in a shorter tube.

Finally got to try some Hammer's in my .280 Ackley, very impressed so far. Did a 10 shot pressure/velocity test. Even spanning 4.5 grains it was about a 1.25 inch group, from a bog pod which is steady, but not bench steady. No doubt they will be accurate upon completion. .280 Ackley...

I own the following scopes and all are pretty dang good at low light: Zeiss Diavari 6-24x56 Leupold VX6 3-18x50 Bushnell LRHS 4.5-18x44 Swarovski Z6i 3-18x50 S&B Klassik 3-12x50 There isn't a whole bunch of difference between them, all are very good glass. But the top two performers in that...
