[QUOTE="cowboy, post: 473121, member: 8833"] If I had a '06 donor action and was wanting to hunt antelope/deer/elk size game I would consider with staying with something that will handle the wind - and heavy bullets handle wind better than lighter bullets. With that said I have personally had very good results with the 280AI (Ackley Improved). Put a 1-9" twist and you can go clean up to the 180 gr. bullet. I personally use the 168 VLD and have never felt handicapped at any time. With that said - if I had to build this rifle again I sure would toss and turn over going with the 6.5 X .284 and the 140 gr., but I'd bet I'd stay with the 280AI. [/QUOTE]
