[QUOTE="Tim Sharp, post: 1718187, member: 107251"] I would consider a standard 280 Rem., factory sporter contour and a 1-9 twist. Fire-forming or purchasing "non-standard" brass and dies can be difficult and more expensive. A 280 AI will not perform much greater than a 280 Rem, particularly if you are limiting your shots to 400yds. A 280 Rem shooting light bullets is on the heels of a 7 Rem Mag. without the recoil. Shooting a non-magnum long action cartridge will enable you to utilize your bolt, additionally, the rails of your action will not need to be opened. I agree with several others above the 25-06 would be a another option, but you will be restricted by bullet selection. I have seen Remage bbls which shoot very well, but I am not a fan of the barrel nut at the face of the receiver. [/QUOTE]
