280 Rem data for 280 AI

if you hunting whitetail,140 gr at 3,000 plus does lots of damage.if you would like,i will send a pic of what 140 gr bullets do

I'm always interested in terminal performance. I'm running the 140 Berger elite hunter in my 6.5 Creed and haven't had a whitetail opportunity yet but it's devastating on feral hogs.

I'm being completely illogical and trying to get down to one hunting rifle. I figure the 280AI can handle anything in North America. The 6.5 is lights out sub MOA out to 600 so selling it will be tough but it was a good enough story for my wife to build the 280AI. I just saw better bullet selection in the 150s for 7mm.
 
3100 in a 24" tube with a 150 should be no problem.
3220 and 3240 in 2 -24" tubes with 140's and 3070 in a 24 with 162's
 
Getting 3130 in mine with 26" barrel, 165 Sierra game changers, RL-26. Also found out Nosler brass has less capacity than Hornady, both factory 280 AI brass.
