Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles ,280 AI pros & cons ?

I think the 280AI is a pretty good cartridge,sandwiched as it is, between a 280 and a 7 Rem Mag.(Which is a pretty narrow niche itself).

But can anyone tell me what's so magical about it,and what it does (in the same action and barrel length) that a 7 Rem Mag doesn't?

Don't get me wrong I understand the "want" part when it comes to rifle cartridges,which is reason enough to get one. But some of the claims here leave me perplexed.

I usually avoid kicking hornet's nests but figured I would make an exception here. My curiosity has the best of me.
