Will be adding a new rifle to my collection this year, already decided on a Browning Xbolt Speed Ovix, I am thinking 280 Ackley Improved for a couple of reasons, #1 ballistically its real close to the 7mm Mag, #2 Can fire form 280 Rem brass if needed, and not real recoil heavy #3 I will be getting my Dads 7mm Mag in a few years so no point in getting another lol

Since this is a new caliber for me i was just wondering if any of you have had some 280 AI experience, everything i read on it, says its an awesome caliber and accuracy is good.

thanks
