[QUOTE="dougduey, post: 1962988, member: 33159"] 6.5 Sherman or 280 AI.........definitely a first world problem. If you’re planning on using it mainly for elk, I’d go the 280 AI route. Either will suit you well, but the 7mm bore is just better on larger game. I just built a 280 AI before all this covid crap happened. It’s a great cartridge and easy to tune. I’m running the 143 gr Hammer at 3260 fps, 150 LRAB at 3121 fps, and the 162 ELDX at 3030 fps. All 0.5 moa or less depending upon the guy squeezing the trigger. I loaded up on Nosler brass before Petersen released their brass, otherwise I’d be using it. Good luck with your build. It’s fun to have a project [/QUOTE]
