[QUOTE="Salmotrutta, post: 1734899, member: 110250"] I like this idea! The real difference between the 280 and the 280 AI for a short barrel gun is really the max SAAMI pressure not the case capacity. Run in QL the 280 only gives up 30 fps at the muzzle IF YOU RUN IT AT AI PRESSURES of 65,000 psi. If you are a loader that stays by the books then you loose about 120 fps to the AI down to ~2780 fps at the muzzle - its not "nothing" but not the end of the world... Before I get a slew of "its the same action, the same barrel, the same case...etc, why not run the 280 at AI pressures?" Well, I have never gotten comfortable with that - I don't run my .30-06 at 65,000 psi - even though I could (in theory). [/QUOTE]
