[QUOTE="VO2MaxFF, post: 2788119, member: 125912"] 280 AI with faster twist (1:7) as mentioned will certainly stabilize a heavy (over 170) BUT the max charge will not be as great as the 7 PRC… this would automatically equate to lower muzzle velocity, as I’m sure you know. Based on that alone, for a “long range” rifle I’d vote 7 PRC. I have a 280AI with 1:9 and max charge for many powders is 5-6gr lower than my 7 RM (as expected) but MV are within 100fps and with reduced recoil than the 7RM. Your felt recoil will be higher with the heavier bullet and heavier charge in the 7PRC but long Lee range capabilities will be better with it. Sorry, stream of conscience thinking above :) [/QUOTE]
