[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1473830, member: 7999"] I am going back and forth between the standard 280ai and the 280 Sherman. Kinda want this one to be no fuss, but I can't get the extra performance of the Sherman out of my head. Parts aren't here yet, but the longer I wait the more I want the Sherman. This is going to be my light weight carry rifle purpose built for 800y elk. About as long as a guy can expect to shoot a light rifle well. Winchester standard long action is the donor, 22" Proof Sendero light, small Pain Killer brake, McMillan Game Warden edge fill stock with blind mag. Barrel will be an 8" twist even though I plan to run our 143g Hammer Hunter. This bullet gives the best ballistics to the intended range. We are running it at 3213fps in a 24" barrel 280ai, comfortable. I am thinking I may get 100fps more with the Sherman and the 22" barrel. I am excited about this rifle. I think the 280ai is the most snort one can get in a standard long action without doing a wildcat. The Sherman is calling loudly though. Steve [/QUOTE]
