^^^^^This is funny!!!! why the heck would you shoot a 185 berger in a 300 win mag BUD??? Throw a 215 or 230 at em then tell me where your at!! OH AND trust me, I've tried them both several times on many different occasions. Proof is in the pudding BUD! Ive ran them literally side by side running same length barrel, same brand, same twist etc. same quality of brass (That you can actually get), with SAFE top end load in both and the 7mag wins BUD sorry! Not saying the 280 AI isn't a sweet little round if your gonna shoot 160 class bullets then let er rip it is a super sweet sleek sexy looking case, but with a 180 and heavier run the 7mag! you can build the rifle the same weight and simply saying it will out do the bigger 7 mag when all things are considered equal is just incorrect!
