[QUOTE="Another Casual, post: 2041909, member: 89878"] I don't think the slight increase in performance would make me go from 270 to 280AI just for that. Now, if your 270 barrel is slow or inaccurate then by all means go for it. 280AI is an excellent round. I'd trade the brake for an extra two inches of barrel, but that's me. Noslers load data has a few powders over 3,000 fps with 150's, but that is with a 26" test barrel. 3,000 with 155 monolithic might need more case capacity than the 280AI gives, but Ive never owned one. If you're worried about length in your magazine the 7 SAUM has similar velocities with 150gr bullets and could be loaded long in your tikka. You would need to open up the bolt face or get a new bolt. I'd say the SAUM and 280AI are both relatively niche cartridges. [/QUOTE]
