[QUOTE="257RobertsMan, post: 1719704, member: 111366"] I like wise have considered turning my 280 Rem into an Ai. I'm currently running a 140gr NAB at 2,950 for myself and the same bullet at 2,750 (basically 7/08 velocity). Either load is lights out on any whitetail within my self imposed range of 400 +/- yds (can shoot further, but get closer most of the time). The original AI chambering will give you slightly better performance with limited brass work. Original 280 will in most cases give you acceptable accuracy when fired in the 280Ai and your fireforming your 280Ai brass as you shoot. And as stated before by many knowledgeable posts herein, trim to lenth and your done. The 280 or 280Ai is great. Build either and you will be happy with either one. However build what you want, you will be happier with the gun you want to build. If you build a 280Ai and am not happy with it, you can find a second home for it real quick! [/QUOTE]
