[QUOTE="olyeller, post: 1936244, member: 84374"] IME, my 280AI shoots very close to 7MM Remmag velocities. Like many others have stated in this thread, your 280 REM load seems slow. I shoot 160gr Sierra GameKings as well as 162gr SST out of it up to 3045fps. Nosler shows over 2900fps with MagPro and the 160gr Partition in the standard 280REM I would go with the 280 if I were in your shoes, provided it shoots well and you are doing your part consistently. I saw a fellow pump 4 180gr 30-06 into an elk cow one time. We got him to stop shooting and wait for her to fall over. Shot placement is what it is all about. [/QUOTE]
