Now talking about a short mag, its a different animal all together.

I was just questioning why you thought the 280AI was such a winner. Just curious is all.

I have went down the AI road with other calibers and came up short. In the end, if I want more velocity, I won't be blow shoulders out and dealing with straight walls for a "hunting" gun anymore. Target, you can do what you want, it doesn't matter.
