[QUOTE="nkyshooter, post: 1691477, member: 83787"] Someone may have already mentioned it, but the 280AI can use not only the 280AI factory loads (which are increasing in choices/availability) but also standard 280 Remington ammo. (of course, the brass will be fireformed for 280AI afterwards so they will look much much prettier) With no belt to worry with on the 280Rem/280AI, many reloaders will prefer to load for it as opposed to the 7mm Mag. In addition, brass life on the 280AI is almost certain to significantly exceed that of either the 280Rem OR the 7mm Mag and the trade off in velocity from 7mm Mag "down" to 280AI will be pretty minimal ballistically. I'm a bit of an ackley geek so yes I am a tiny bit biased ... but ... the above statements hold true regardless ... :) Whoever it was that posted to let the auction winner decide had a brilliant idea though ... I like that approach! [/QUOTE]
