[QUOTE="Bob Wright, post: 2030098, member: 104363"] I didn't see you comment if its pre or post 64 action. But with a long twist and short barrel 22", you won't gain a whole lot. I have an 8.4 twist, 26" in a 280AI. Its shoots great at 200 yds, but crappy brass has held me back. I'm close to testing the new Peterson brass I just loaded. It shoots 143 Hammer Hunters with Nosler brass at a very boring 3100fps. I expect that the upper node will be in the 3200's based on my contacts here on LRH. If you sell your rifle as is, then anything is possible. If you re-barrel it, it only has to be worth it to you. The 280AI is a great, efficient, low recoiling cartridge. It can shoot heavies with a faster twist very well. [/QUOTE]
