    280 Ack now done!!

    Well guys and girls ,
    A good friend and rifle builder sent me a picture of my 280 Ackley he has now finished

    Its a Sako 75 long action , UKgunworks recoil lug , Border cut barrel - finished at 27 inches , Mcmillan Sako varmint stock , Ase sound moderator.
    I plan to run the 162 A-maxs , roll on the end of this month as i am traveling up country with the Mrs to pick the rifle up and hopefully work up a good load for her
    Shall report when i get back home after trip
    All the best ,
    Ray.

    That's LONG as.
    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    As for case capacity , i will be using Nosler custom 280 Ack brass!!
    Untill i get the rifle and start load development this is just a guestimation , around 60 grains of Reloader 22!!
    But we shall see by the end of the month
