[QUOTE="bbraden, post: 1140361, member: 92640"] I had a 280AI built with a Benchmark #6 barrel with 1:8.5 twist. It stabilizes 180gr hybrids just fine. So far it's a 1/2 to 3/4 MOA gun with my hand loads but I know it'll do better. I still have some tweaking to do. Someone quoted "no brass to fireform" but one can order Nosler 280AI brass strIght from the factory. AND it's cheaper and seems easier to find than SAUM brass anyways. Last point, and the reason I went 280ai is that one can load 4-5 rounds of 280ai in most actions where as saum usually only allows 3. I've personally never seen an elk go down with less than 2 shots so I wanted that extra capacity in my elk gun. [/QUOTE]
