Just read the Shooting Times Article. Anyone modify their 280 to an Ackley 40?

280 Rem to AI

Ain't enough sugar for a dime.
Like Scorch said, 100fps. If you look at Nosler 5&6, they have the 280 in 26" and the AI in 24". Velocities about the same. You'd spend about the same for a longer barrel as you would a custom chambering job. I had a 280 26" barrel put on a Mark X and the chrono velocities were within 3 fps of the Nosler book with 2 different powders.

1)Have a 7 STW & 7-08.
2) Thanks guys for the info.
3) Nobody said anything about AI accuracy vs. the .280. Would I pick up anything with the conversion (BDL)? I'm more concerned about accuracy. I have a 6.5 Swede that shoots 2" 5 shot groups at 300. Would this be as good or better?
