[QUOTE="Morrison, post: 1351481, member: 12911"] Yes, you can use the 175's in you 280AI. I have 3 of them. Your question regarding longer ranges is the heavier bullets are better holding their own in the wind. Long Range is not about how fast you can go but more about predictability and a repeatable shot. Losing 300fps may help in accuracy and consistency. Choose your bullet based on what you are trying to accomplish. A target bullet is not your best choice for hunting. There are new technologies out all of the time. For hunting, Nosler released their ABLR in 175 and depending on your rifle you may prefer the 168's which will give you back your speed but it has a profile that flies well at range. If you would like to stay with "OLD" tried and true.. Sierra modeled the Game King after the Match King bullet and I have been smaking Antelope with it for years out to 500 yards. [/QUOTE]
