[QUOTE="Shortmagman, post: 2129480, member: 10723"] I won't try to tell you which to build but I can give you some of my experiences that could help you decide. First I do not own a 280 AI but I have a 280 Rem that I have owned for over 10 years. and I have more than one Short Mag one of them being a Rem 700 Short Action in 7SAUM. First when It comes to feeding the only short mag that I have had problems with is the Rem 700 7SAUM. My other shot mag guns are control feed Winchesters and a Ruger Mark II. These guns feed without problems. With the 7saum I have shot many bullets out of this gun and it does shoot well for a factory gun. 160 Nosler Accubonds, and 160 Barnes TTSX work well and with a 24 inch barrel and 1 in 9 twist, I am able to get three shot groups at or near half inch at a velocity of just short of 3000 ft/sec. 140 Accubonds and 140 TTSX shoot at 3100+ ft/sec with good accuracy. My 280 Rem is one of my favorite guns. It is a 700 CDL with a 24 inch barrel and it shoots great and feeds very well. I can't get quite as much velocity from it but it comes close with 140 grain bullet at 3000 ft/sec and 160 bullets at 2800+. I am shooting 150 Long range Accubonds with great accuracy but not great speed. The 280 Rem can be loaded to approach the 280 AI. I never thought that the extra 100 ft/sec was worth the difficult of finding brass etc. . That is a decision that you have to make. I know that the 280 Rem and 280 AI are both great rounds. So is the 7SAUM. [/QUOTE]
