Who shoots 140gr bullets out of a 280 Ackley?

[john k]

I am running the 140g Absolute Hammer in my 22" barrel ai with rl16 at 3320 fps. My original load was with hybrid 100 at 3400 fps. Before that I ran three 143g Hammer Hunter at 3130 fps. We run the 143g HH in our 27" barrel at close to 3250fps.

Impressive

I've heard great testimonies about Hammer Bullets. Will try next fall. I have a 1:9 twist in my Ackley and it loves 140's. I have another 280 Ackley in a 1:8 twist that I will set up for heavier Bullets. I shoot a 7-08 also that loves 140 AB's

I shoot 140 accubonds with H4831sc at 3200 FPS. My barrel is fast, I can shoot 175 Berger's at 3000

WOW! that's interesting! My friend has a 280AI he's working up loads for. He has a 27" Schneider P5, 9.0T barrel. Would you share any load data? That would be a big help.

I have the old tried and true .280, 24" barrel, medium taper in the Encore and have been shooting it since the Encore came out. I had and still have an old Remington 7MM Express (280) and I have always shot 140 or 150 grn bullets from them. My Encore I use if I have to use a rifle is shooting the 140 Accubonds with Varget. I have taken several deer and two Elk with the 140 grn Accubond. With the rifle I get 2950 fps. The twist on the factory Encore is 1-9. One bull elk was at 405 yards in 20° weather with some snow.
I have the .280 in the Encore Pistol also and shoot the same load. It is running 2830 fps. I also have the .284 in the Encore pistol, 15" and a XP100 Custom in .284, 15" barrel and shoot the 140grn Accubonds. I'm glad I bought up over 500 of them early in 2020.

What's your charge weight of R26?

I don't have chrono data yet ... new Kimber Montana 1:9 24". Broke in with Nosler Custom ammo 140AB. Excellent results this fall on whitetail and medium-sized boar feral hog.

First light load using 140TSX performed about as well as the 140AB. I want to try the 133gr Hammer Hunter next.

How many grains of RL 22 in your load? Is it near capacity? Thanks
