[QUOTE="6mm Remington, post: 587294, member: 35254"] I really like the 280 Remington and don't think you could possibly go wrong getting it or the 280 AI. Me personally I'd probably just stay with the 280 as is. It's that good, but the 280 AI sure is appealing to. I loaded 140 gr. Partitions in my 280 which was a Remington Mountain rifle with the 22" barrel. If I had one made or could buy one, I would get the 24" barrel. I shot my largest elk with that rifle and load at 250 yards. I hit him twice behind the shoulder although one was enough. He took about 3 steps and dropped. One Partition exited and the second was stuck under the hide on the off-side. The bull was a 6x6 that had a 43" inside spread and 53" main beams, so he was not a small bull either! The 140 gr. Accubond or Partition or the 160 gr. Partition or Accubond would be my bullets of choice for all my game animals too! Great bullets in this wonderful cartridge. Good luck on your choice.
