Speaking of velocity: I went back thru the loading notes for the .280AI and I am getting 3323 fps with the 120 Nosler BT, just short of 3200 fps with a 139 Hornady, and the first round of loadings (i.e. starting loads) with the 162 AMAX produced 2850 fps from a 23 inch Shilen barrel. This is using H4350, RL 22, and IMR 7828 powder in fireformed RP cases.
Also, these loads are not super hot redline stuff either. I could coax a bit more out if I tried.
I am thinking that duplicating these velocities with a 22 inch 7Mm Remmy shouldn't be too difficult.
I can get 3200-3250fps from most 140gr bullets if I use max loads (using the 21.5" barrel).
