Just about a perfectly balanced cartridge. It will overlap the 25 and 30-06 a fair amount on both ends with 120-180 gr. bullets. Only reason not to build one is the other rifles may stay in the safe at least for awhile.

It for me is about the top end that I would want in an ultra light rifle. A Titanium Pierce action for the 280AI sure would be nice.

Mine is a truck gun throw down rifle on a Ruger action. Not worthy of a photo even if I knew how.

Handwerks rifle is just about perfection.
