[QUOTE="HSmithTX, post: 2479119, member: 121677"] If I wanted to shoot a 180 at 2950ish I would go 280 or 280AI in an action long enough to get the base of the bullet at or just below the neck. The only justification for this is brass price and availability, it's comparatively cheap and available. 284 Win in a standard action would also work (2850-2900ish) and Lapua brass is generally available. 7RM would be my next choice, again brass price and availability. 28 in my experience is going to be happier with the 180 closer to 3150, the large case wants slower powder and more of it. I have and shoot all of the above and like them all. Personally I top out the 280 and 284 with 160 class bullets and run the 180-195's in the 28. 28 brass is hideously expensive, good brass is anyway and that is why I put it last on the list. Finding the appropriate powders is WAY harder than getting the performance you want for the last couple years..... [/QUOTE]
