[QUOTE="Hand Skills, post: 1738877, member: 103303"] If you are shooting factory ammo, the AI might be a better choice as it's loaded to higher pressures (65,000psi vs the 280rem's 60,000psi). High performance ammo is easier to find. .280Rem factory ammo is notoriously slow (when it can be found) and I think your goal may be a bit ambitious in that context. From a handloader's perspective, the gap closes quite a bit and the difference between the two is on the order of 1% (more like 50-75fps) when loaded to equal pressures. Handloading really opens up bullet sellection for this cartridge and in this context, the 280 Rem is perfectly suited to your needs. [/QUOTE]
