Beater custom, Rem 700, non trued, Boyd's laminate, #5 taper X caliber 9T, 27" long, Re sprung Walker trigger. Barrel is floated, action is skim coat bedded in the boyd's laminate.
If you have a Nosler manual #4, you will see a load for the std 280 with 160g bullets with IMR 7828 at 2930 fps...my old Rem 700 shot that load very well. This gives you some idea what a 280/280 AI is really capable of.
If you want to have some real nice 280 AI brass, make it out of Lapua 30/06 brass, the brass is so tough, it is hard to open up the primer pockets.
