[QUOTE="PonyLady, post: 1719460, member: 85829"] I have been shooting a 280 AI benchrest for nearly 8 years. I use Nosler brass and Berger 140gr match bullets. I use IMR 4350 @ 58 gr. The round is routinely over 31k fps and I am 90% @ 850 yds. We used to have a 1000 yd range and the rifle/round were just as accurate at that distance. I shoot this round because it is flat, fast and accurate and has minimal recoil. I have other benchrest rifles, but this is my favourite. My rifle is heavy and I wouldn’t want to have to carry it for hunting. That being said, I would think with a little research, a hunting rifle in this caliber would be a great gun. [/QUOTE]
