If you’re only shooting 500 get the 280 AI.
That is where I am back to looking at, but I haven't ruled out a .30 Cal as it supports a heavier load which is the gap I am feeling the need to fill. I did some searching on barrel life last night and was surprised how little barrel life was expected, the 28 Nosler on one of the other forums was averaging 600 rounds before it was time for a new barrel. As this will be a hunting rig I am sure that will stretch a little more. But with the initial cost, ammo cost, availability, and short life span the Nosler calibers are not really my cup of tea for my intended purpose.
