[QUOTE="pods8, post: 1073278, member: 83233"] I shoot the barnes 145gr LRX from a 7-08 at 2700 (that's where the best accuracy was) and it opened fine on antlope (low resistance) out at 350yds (impact should have been around 2200fps at my altitude). Under my conditions a 280AI should carry that same velocity out to 600yds, even a normal 280rem would do that to 500yd. Now mind you barnes advertises 1600fps as minimum but really when you look at expansion pictures 2200 seems to be where you get a decent opening of the petals so I try and keep over that. I've got a 280AI due from the smith next month (24" 9 twist obermeyer rem 700 sporter contour). I didn't see the need to chase into the larger 7s for my practical hunting purposes. [/QUOTE]
