[QUOTE="bronco, post: 660192, member: 48575"] + 1 for 280AI The 280AI is my travel / mountain rifle of choice. I have taken it everywhere. I recommend 1 in 9.5" twist with a 24" tube. It's a nice balance for 7mm pills at that speed. 120 BT for antelope and yotes, 160 PT for elk at long range and 140 AB for anything else. You can get 280 Rem at most podunk stores and their great in a pinch. I haven't done much work with anything heavier than the 160 PT. But honestly, that bullet has never let me down. [/QUOTE]
