[QUOTE="TOM H, post: 55687, member: 306"] I've heard pros and cons on the 280AI every since it came out. I've got the old 7mm express and will be needing a brrel before long. My first choice is a 284 set up for the 150/160 gr bullets or go back with the 280. Years ago I had a 7x57AI done and with the lighter bullets I got almost the same velocity as my 7mag and when shooting the 150/160 gr bullet was within 100fps. Used 10gr of powder less. For me I just don't want to take a chance on the 280AI. I've got afew AI in other calibers and most gain between 100/150fps more and I like that in a varmit round i can fire form while using it for varmit shooting. I'm thinking the 284 case in a long action will give that case alittle more capacity and may get better velocity that a 280. Just my .02 worth! [/QUOTE]
