Reply With QuoteGood to know. How is the availability of 280AI brass? Debating my next (long action) purchase, and was nearly settled on 7mm Mag.
I am pretty excited to see that Savage is offering the 280 AI in 4 models. I just got my first 280 AI a few months ago and it is nearly as fast as my 7mm Rem Mag and in a rimless non magnum case. I know it is probably not a big deal to many of you, but I just thought it was awesome (and long overdue) to have a non-magnum that is faster than a 7mm-08.

Hornady and Nosler offer brass.
Nosler also offers off the shelf loaded ammunition. I got 4 boxes of loaded Nosler Ballistic tips (from midway at $27 per box when they were on sale) to use as my break-in rounds and brass.

They are both pretty good rounds.
I really wish that savage would offer a 7mm Magnum in a 1-9 or faster twist, so I could shoot the 175's better. That is one of the draws of the 280 AI, it comes in a faster twist than my 7mm Mag.
You can always order a Wilson, Shaw or Green Mountain for your action and get that faster twist.

#10 G.I. Vietnam. You got anymore ammo?
LOL and Rock Creek, Brux, Bartlien, Krieger, Hawk Hill, Muellerworks, Proof Research and probably Obermeyer. I guess I should have distinguished Budget barrels from mid priced and premium.
