The 280 AI with a 168g Berger Hunting VLD is nothing short of awesome, long barrel life also. Bullets that have a BC in the area of .625-.650 and higher are where you want to be looking it IF, you are shooting any distance at all. As bullets approach and exceed .650, you will just have to see for yourself how well they retain their velocity and lack of wind drift...it is amazing if you have not experienced it.

With a howling wind, Shooting 1"-1.5" groups at 300 yards is just ho hum with bullets with BC of .650 and over, no kidding.
