[QUOTE="eshorebwhntr, post: 1166518, member: 17112"] I certainly don't think you would be hurting anything by trying. By all means be safe. From what limited knowledge I have I wouldn't expect any huge gains over what you've already tested. To me, there seems to be an optimum point where cartridge case design and overbore, coupled with powder burn rate...optimize. If you were shooting a big overbore cartridge I would say you might gain something but being the 280 AI isn't largely overbore I would think there might not be much velocity left to be had over the 7977. But that's just me thinking, I have nothing concrete to back it up. At some point going slower in burn rate is going to start having a negative effect on velocity. I guess the only way to find out for sure is to see which side of that "point" R33 is on for the 280 AI. If you decide to try it let us know how you make out. [/QUOTE]
