I found the loads for N560 and 140 and 160 grain bullets in the ninth edition a bit impressive. anyone use these or that powder in a 280 Ackely yet? 3300 fps is fast indeed.

I haven't tried any of them. My experience with Barnes is I could never get as high a velocity as I could with other bullets of the same weight. In looking on the Vihtavuori site they don't show velocities that high with the 7MMmag.


As usual just my $.02

Bingo...it's my experience that if something seems to good to be true....it probably isn't!!
