[QUOTE="Guest, post: 55314"] Yea their pretty close , The disadvantages I see with the 280Ai are low quality brass (could use 30-06Lapua though) and lack of quality factory ammo. BUT the 7mm bullets do have better BC to Weight than the 30 cals do and SD is usualy better. Personaly my vote goes to the 30-06Ai , I can shoot factory ammo out of it and still keep groups around an inch , but loaded with fireformed Lapua brass and a 180gr Nosler Partition it'll shoot around the 1/2" mark with velocity at the same level as factory 300 win. , all this with less fuss and cuss than the mag , an extra round in the magazine . AND their is an almost edless supply of factoy 30-06 ammo that you couyld use in a pinch. If you don't mind the little extra work at the reloading bench and fire forming your brass then the 280Ai is supposed to be a great round , about same performance as a fartory 7mm Rem mag [/QUOTE]
