[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 956491, member: 12995"] .280 AI is a phenomenal caliber. You can also buy new Nosler .280 AI brass to help save a step for reloading. Velocities will be about 150 fps faster than a 7mm-08, and about 150 fps slower than a 7mm RemMag. So, it is right in the middle. Barrel life will be great, brass life is great, and it is a very efficient caliber. I would shoot 168 Berger VLD's. As long as everything goes to plan, my next build will be a .280 AI. I already have a .25-06 AI, .30-06 AI, and a .300 Ackley Improved Magnum (based off the .300 Wby). The only thing to make sure is that your smith has a SAAMI /Nosler spec .280 AI reamer, and not the older original PO Ackley spec reamer, that has slightly different chamber specs. [/QUOTE]
