Thread: 280 Ai shooting distances

Hi all I'm looking at building a new lightweight carbon rig (barrel and stock) ,for sort of a good allround gun,that I can stretch its legs if I need to .It will be a long action ,non magnum build as I have a donor sitting in the safe . I like the look of the 280 Ai and was wondering what sort of distances people are knocking deer over with there's ?? I'm thinking 1 in 8 twist and 24 inchs long (sound about right) I've shot my mates 280 out to 400 yards on but haven't used a 280 Ai so any help would be a great help cheers.
