[QUOTE="ol mike, post: 134615, member: 4683"] Thanks for the help guys. I'm thinking about a 280AI [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] now. Less recoil -less expense to build etc.. I did a search on google and pa-dow longrangehunting-4forkedhorn asking about the 280AI.Kirby and several others commented positively about the 280ai. I just bought a 7mm wsm for a steal and have 160gr accubonds and 140 bt's . Also in my research i see nosler builds 280ai brass ready to go ,so no whining about fireforming. My thoughts now are 160 accubonds for game and 162 a-max for varmint/targets. One last thing -barrel twist -is a 1-9.5 the optimum twist for 160-168gr bullets ? What will be the weight difference -ballpark- between a #4 or a #5 fluted barrel ? Figuring on a 27" barrel.-Mike edited to say thanks for the technical answers on the STW it helped me alot. [/QUOTE]
