[QUOTE="liltank, post: 346817, member: 13275"] The thing about the 280 is the caliber itself. You can only go up from there. Because of the caliber you could ream to a 280AI which would only improve your reach and give a little more pooh at 800yrds to anchor your animal. You could just shoot your old brass to fire form to the new caliber. You would gain about 100 to 150fps with the chamber cut to an Ackley Improved. Or you could have it cut bigger to a 7RUM or 7Rem Mag. I think it is a great platform to start out with. One guy I know carried it on his farm tractor while mowing fields and harvesting to shoot varmints, and deer. Said it was the best caliber he had ever had. Tank [/QUOTE]
