Having owned all 3, the 7mmBM is hands down the best if you are chasing max long range performance. Very similar experience to @BRADS, mine is pushing 180 VLDs at 3060fps. Even with a 22in bbl the BM is a big step up over the other two. 280ai you’re getting very close to Rem Mag performance and a slightly better speed than SAUM. 280ai running N560 gets me 2980 fps with 162AMAX out of 24in bbl. SAUM with 22in bbl, pushing 168 Berger’s at 2930 fps w RL23. But I doubt the deer will tell the difference between the two.![]()
