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

I have one and it doesn't offer anything over what a .30/06 will do as velocities are equal for bullet weight at least in equal 22" barrels.

The .30/06 is however, a more suitable choice when the game gets larger as it begins to shine when the bullets start to get heavy for caliber where game is larger than deer.

I look at the 280A1 as a substitute for the .270 as it has a larger bullet selection. The flaw in that argument is that there is no animal suitable for one that cannot be taken with the other.
