[QUOTE="codym, post: 1599954, member: 105909"] I have a 26' 9 twist 280 ai. I can push the 160-168 class bullet up and over 3k but found accuracy to be in the 2920/2950 area depending on bullet. I love my 280 ai but think the sweet spot for hunting is the 160-168 class bullet. Personally if I wanted a long range 7mm to shoot the heavier bullets 180-195 class, I would do a 28 nosler or 7stw. I think for what you are describing the 280 ai will be a great choice just go with a properly twisted barrel for your elevation and get it throated for the 180's. [/QUOTE]
