I believe the CVA are made in Spain. They are great guns, if your set on American made, look at TC and Knight. Both are well made guns. I shoot TC Encores and Omegas. Muzzys can be a ton a fun to hunt with.

Hawk- I've settled on the 140 Accubond in our 270's. Its been very accurate, hard hitting and a deer and elk freezer filler.. I've just been using R19 under it and it has severed up lots of 1/2-3/4"groups in several rifles. I've wanted to try need powders but it's been magic so I haven't messed...

thanks, I keep watching it but must have missed it

Hey all I just finished up a build in a 280 Ackley Improved. I have 12 ackley brass and 40 280 remington I will fire form to ackley. Does anyone have a lead on some 280 AI brass? thanks randy

Thanks Dr Mike!!

Here’s the specs. 280 AI, 24” barrel. Have powders on hand R17,R19,R23,R26. Bullets on the bench, 140 BT,140 Partition, 154 Interbond, 160 accubond. If someone could point me in the right direction I would much appreciate it.

Thanks guys for the responses, I'm building off a tikka t3 action, as I mentioned if I can keep it the same weight as a magnum tikka I'd love it. I'm doing the same barrel contour as the tikka t3x lite. As I recall that's just over .600 of an inch. I guess that's close to a #3 contour. I'm...

Hey all it seems I'm always asking for help here, I very much appreciate it. I have found some amazing loads from yawl's help. I'm pretty excited about this adventure, I'm gathering stuff for building a 280 AI, I don't want to long a barrel but not too short either. I'm either going with a 24...

Thanks guys! appreciate the responses, I'm still on the fence on what to do, my current setup is a Ruger Hawkeye, It will shoot 1/2 MOA, but I'm not super fond of the weight, the action is not smooth, I guess I'm used to my tikkas. Is there a lighter stock option that won't break the bank?

OK all, I know these are very close in all applications, especially if they both have 24" and with magic powders like R26. I am looking for a possible build. I currently have a 280 rem and its a take driver, but I'm looking for a lighter rifle and a little more barrel. I could fireform all my...

Thanks Dr.Mike! It looks like R23 could and should do well.

Ruger Hawkeye 280 rem 140 partition 150 accubond/BT 154 Interbond 160 accubond Winchester brass If you could run it at higher pressures, closer to 270 win tang that would be awesome. Powder Reloder 23 Thanks a bunch

Thanks all for the Imput and the Quicload, looks like R16 or the R17 I currently have is the ticket, it has worked awesome with the 125 pt in 120 BT in a couple 260s, I guess the new one will get the same (y)

Which powder and why? I have 140 partitions, 154 Interbonds and 160 accubond. Thanks

I guess it’s not a good option, thanks

The 270 win and the 140s are a perfect match, we’ve been using the 140 accubond and R19 for years with great accuracy and have had wonderful success on deer and elk.

I hear amazing results with Big Game powder and the 7-08, how would it do with the 260 Rem and the 120 BT, 125 PT, 130 Accubond and the 140 BT? thanks in advance.

In my last 280 the 162 eldx bullets would not group consistently, one season I thought I had it, then I’d try it again and it was all over the place, but the 150 BT where always spot on, so I gave up on them. I grew very frustrated with them. Hope that answers your questions..

Would you shoot this bullet at elk? I know a lot of folks have used these types of bullets for hunting. It would be fired from a 280 rem. Tried the 162 ELDX and wasn't impressed. thanks

I'm looking for a new powder or backup powders for the following calibers.. 260 Rem 270 Win 7mm-08 280 Rem I currently use R17 in the 260 and 7mm-08, R19 and R26 in the 270 and 280. Locally I can get Big Game, R16, StaBall 6.5, R22 and R23. I know R22 is a great powder in the 270 and 280, and...
