[QUOTE="LittleMike, post: 1601103, member: 105232"] I've a 280AI I purchased 8/18, reloading with 140 and 160, now have 449 rounds down the tube. have tried some LRAB 168gr excellent grouping with 54.2gr RL17 but not fast. Used 160's to kill elk and mule deer in Montana; double lung pass through on deer at 380yd, elk cow not so much at 280 but cow was DRT shoulder shattered and lungs and heart were shredded. I had options and chose the 280AI, for longer shots with heavier bullets the big 7 would suite; but you pay for it in pain, powder and overbore barrel burn. [/QUOTE]
