[QUOTE="Chase723, post: 1600596, member: 21524"] FWIW I have a 22” 7RM that shoots 1/4 MOA at 500 @ 3024fps. 69gr Retumbo. No pressure. I don’t have and have never shot 280AI but I would think that in shorter barrels the difference between the 2 would be even less than at 26” because you can only burn so much powder, so fast. The longer the barrel gets the bigger the advantage, I would presume, goes to the 7RM, especially with heavier bullets (175+). In practicality, that’s only going to matter at the terminal ballistic limits of the cartridge. I.E. for both of those with 160 class bullets somewhere beyond 1200 yards. This forum is about long range hunting, so that is a consideration, but 1200 yards is extremely far. If your talking between 500-1000 then who cares. You’ll never be able to practically appreciate the difference. [/QUOTE]
