[QUOTE="olyeller, post: 1674240, member: 84374"] Built my 280AI on a Vanguard action. It is stupid accurate. I prefer the 160-162gr bullets for hunting, especially the 162 ELD-X. I shoot 175gr Sierra GK and the 162ELD-X out to 1000m at steel, but limit my deer hunting to 500-750yds. This rifle/barrel is standard weight with a can. Easy to load for, pleasure to shoot. You will sacrifice nothing over similar cartridges like 7RemMag, 6.5-06, etc., and load work-up is easy. ETA: What [USER=109887]@Whaler63[/USER] says about the 270WIN holds water, too. I also built a heavy barrel 270WIN that will kill a pie plate at 1000yds. I've gotten one clay pigeon at that distance. I also have a Rem 721 action rebarreled with a Benchmark barrel and Remage nut system for deer hunting. Have several bang-flop deer kills out to 500yds using the 140gr SST. Both of my 270WIN builds use Benchmark barrels and have 1-9 twist. If 270WIN had come out with 1-9 twist years ago......well I won't start that argument up. The 150ABLR would be a good choice if your gun likes it [/QUOTE]
