[QUOTE="redchinviking, post: 2790073, member: 110512"] Velocity wise it’s obviously splitting hairs. With a faster twist and extra freebore the 280 AI is just a pubic hair short of a ballistic twin. Some other considerations other than availability of QUALITY, not hornady brass (1+ year out, if we’re lucky) I would also consider that depending on your bottom metal/stock configuration you might get an extra round in the magazine and let’s not forget how smooth those standard cartridges feed. Smooooth. Throw in a new bolt and the potential for clickers (potential custom die/custom throat/time for tinkering) and I would strongly consider your 280 Ackley twice…thrice improved😬 if you know your 280 combo rocks, rock that combo. I do like my 7prc but the 280 A3xi is pretty sweet! One day you might look back and think it’s better even… [/QUOTE]
