[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 785205, member: 12995"] My next build will be within the calendar year of 2013, and it will be a 700 action, and a custom Rock Creek barrel cambered in .280 AI. I have big-boy magnums (7Mags, 7STW's, etc...), and I have .308's and 7mm-08's, and honestly, I think the .280AI is the best all-around cartridge there is, after doing ALOT of extensive research. It will be my go-to whitetail gun, and b/c of the non-belted magnum cases, will probably be one of my range favorites. Yes, you can shoot 168 Berger VLD's out of it. Once I get my rifle built, I will be working loads specifically for that bullet. I have a box of 100 of them sitting at home waiting already. :D Now that I think about it, I might just pull the barrel off of my A-Bolt II 7Mag, and order a different bolt-face for it, and have it chambered in .280AI....Or I could just wait till I get another 700 LA to build on... Hmmmm, decision, decisions......:cool: Doing a Google search netted me some results from posts on here from back in 2010.... One guy says he shoots the 168 VLD's out of his @ 2,875! That's friggin rippin for a non-magnum caliber.
