[QUOTE="thinair, post: 1641587, member: 109077"] 280ai is hands down most versatile of all 7mms, and actually all calibers/cartridges. Sits right in the middle of 7mms. Very efficient cartridge, easy to reload (also shoots 280 factories), mild recoil, not to far away from performance of 7rm. 7mm08 with 140 accubonds flying at 2800-2900 kills many elk in US. Somebody mentioned moose and bear would need something better than 280ai. Really? Spit 160 accubond at moose or bear at ~3000-3100fps, and its bye, bye sleep tight. As been said, it spits 140s at 3200, 162s in mid to high 3000, and 180s in mid to high 2900. Choice of grains is huge... from 100 or 110 to 195s and of course 7mms has the best ballistic, not counting big boys such as 338 lapua etc. [/QUOTE]
