[QUOTE="DRock, post: 1962985, member: 109187"] As far as performance, I would have to give the edge to the Sherman. But, I would also consider: What about barrel life between the two? It seems to me the Sherman would be a barrel burner and the 280AI has a longer barrel life (assuming all things equal in not overheating barrels, etc). 280AI recoils like a 270 win and if the Sherman is similar to a 26 Nosler, that was one of the hardest kicking rifles I ever owned. When trying to decide between two calibers, I think these are also relevant questions (as well as the above stated info about brass cost, fire forming brass, availability of quality dies, and factory ammo options).
