[QUOTE="ddyrcz06, post: 732340, member: 59692"] I considered the two long and hard and finally decided on the 280 straight up. I will only speak to what I know. I have a 30 inch barrel 1 in 8 twist for the heavies, in 280 rem on a savage action. I did some load testing today with the 162 AMAX. I am using H1000 powder, seated 10 thousandths off the lands puts me 3.395 C.O.L. I started well below maximum loads and worked up to a nice sweet spot that is fast for a 280. my avg speed was 3,090fps and was shooting .3 groups with zero pressure signs. The final load was above max by the book but since I am seating long it was not a problem. I guess I will never know what the 280 AI would have done but I am more than happy with my 280 rem. I think you will enjoy building your rifle I know I had a blast and could care less now that I am shooting it. [/QUOTE]
