Sooo you are wanting to pull some sort of closed auction, but here on this site, but only sorta, cuz only you know what the price is and only you know if anyone has questions, concerns or problems? What the hey?

PS: I don't think that you should expect to have this project completed within 2 weeks - regardless of the chambering that you ultimately choose! However, I would suggest that if the option of your Dad's .280 is a valid option, I would suggest getting intimately familiar with it for handling...
