[QUOTE="Morrison, post: 1391572, member: 12911"] I have 3 280 AI's built for different environments. Hunting is a very different environment than punching paper. You can load the 175's into the AI but I recommend that you take notice of the Berger and Sierra recommendations, if you are looking for long range accuracy outside of the Hunting environment they will suggest a faster twist rate for the heavier bullet. You will be fine with a 1/9 twist for 140's through the 168's and the 175 will perform well. However, a 1/8 twist will serve you better with the heavy bullets all the way through the 195's. Note: that you may have to throat the chamber to make the 195's work best. Really long bullet. [/QUOTE]
