Any 280AI’s out there

Cageyc · #1 11-01-2021, 09:44 AM

Hello,
I am very interested in the Ackley and would like to take a shot with one if someone is willing to let me try it out. I am hoping that you’re a member at the spfg range as I am also a member. I’m not in any rush and would meet at your convenience. I would go to other ranges also if the range permits visitors.

Thank you.

would be very similar to a 30/06

I’m in Drayton Valley and have one.
I’m off most of November, and know a few places on crown land we can shoot.
PM me your contact info and I’ll respond in kind.

Mark is bang on. Unless you reload, I would look elsewhere.

I've got one and I'm a member at SPGA.

Might be there this weekend to confirm some loads.

At "normal" hunting ranges it's hard to beat a 30/06. If the shooter is more interested in banging gongs out to 1000 or even further, the 280Ai or most 7mm cartridges for that matter will probably out perform the '06.
