[QUOTE="hunt4life1965, post: 1152654, member: 93994"] I have 2 rifles in 280AI. The first is a factory Remington 700 action 280 reamed to AI. I shoot 140 grain AB's with RL22. Shots 1/2 inch groups at 200 yards. The 2nd is on a Remington 700 action with a 1-9 twist Benchmark barrel #5 contour 26 inches long. It shoots any load I run thru it from 140 grain AB bullets with RL22 to 160 Nosler AB's with IMR4350. Its best load is the 168 grain Berger with IMR4350. Every load shoots well under 1/2" at 200 yards. The Berger bullets are explosive on deer at 100 yards but its bang flop. Either one of these 280AI's are excellent rifles and very accurate.So many 7mm bullets to choose from and brass is available. I fireform most of mine from 280 rounds. If you want my exact load data let me know. I will say both shoot 150 grain bullets well too. [/QUOTE]
