[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 185289, member: 8843"] I think that the only thing your gonna gain for a 16" barreled 280 is a head ache from the concussion , its gonna be !! LOUD !! Burn rates are differant with differant case shapes and capacities as well as the bullet you want to shoot. , if you want to shoot a 180gr bullet out of a 280 then your gonna want a slow burning powder to give you a longer pressure curve and more barrel to allow for the powder to burn fully , if you try ti use a fast powder like one would use with shooting say a 120gr bullet your gonna reach higher pressure problems well before the round has reached its accuracy potentioal. The shorter fatter cases are a bit more effecient so they will get better velocities out of shorter barrels. If your set on the 280 then I'd suggest at least a 24" barrel to get the good out of it.
