280 ackley which bullet to try 1st

[ruger22]

Elk/deer loads for a rifle in 280 Ackley.
Which premium bullet to try 1st?

Am leaning towards nosler AB's
140g?

What would you start with?

for Elk I would be more inclined to go with the 160 gr AB

140 ab and if it shoots well your good to go for just about anything on this continent.

That is way too much gun for deer, so load a heavier bullet for elk (like a 160) and it will be less explosive on deer.

One load for both. Makes logistics and load development easy.

162 or 175gr eldx would be my pick

I reload the 150 swift scirroco's. They hit like the hammer of Thor.

140 gr ttsx
More accurate than nosler accubonds in my experience.
