Lots of options with the 280AI. Mine likes the 140 BT over RL22 & RL23 at a scoche over 3200 fps. Also had great results with a 150 ELDX & RL26 @ 3120ish.
If you use RL23 in this cartridge, get a drop tube if you don't have one. The density makes it a tough to get enough powder in the case.
Don't speculate when you don't know, and don't second guess when you do.

My old kimber Montana liked 7828 with 150 partitions or NBTs. I never could get that rifle to like the 162 amax or other high BC bullets. Maybe that's why I don't have it anymore. I picked up a CA ridgeline this winter but haven't shot it yet. I plan to try 180 elds first in it.
My Montana 7wsm loves 162 amaxes with 7828. I'm going to try the 180s in it this summer too. The 180s work well in my 28 bowler so I hope some of my other rifles like it too.

Does anyone have the 280AI in a 22 inch barrel I have the short action equivalent a 7mm SAUM and it has a 22.5" bbl Wish I had one. I love my Ackley & it is so very accurate. But, I would more love a 7 RSAUM.

My Pac Nor barreled Remington loves 59 grains of Imr 4831 and a cci 250. Yields just over 3,000 fps and 1/2" groups.
The 120 ttsx over 58.5 grains of RL17 and a cci 200 turns in an average velocity of 3,290 fps. Again 1/2" groups.

63 gr VV N165, 140 Accubond @ 3200 fps in my 23” Lilja barrel. That load shoots one ragged hole in my gun. This^^^^^^^^^^^

Does anyone have the 280AI in a 22 inch barrel Yep, mine is a 22" using an XTR Model 70 featherweight with the 8.75" twist and rechambered.
When truth is ignored, it does not change an untruth from remaining a lie.
