[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 163339, member: 8843"] Well since you have a 6mm-06 already why get another ? I'd get a 6.5-06 the 140gr A-max will cleanly take deer well past 600yds and the 95gr V-max will make one hell of a mess out of a chuck at that range! the 1-7 twist to shoot the 115 class bullets will be pretty hard on the lighter jacketed bullets like the Bergers and A-max especialy if you use a 3 groove type barrel. The 280 Ai is a fantastic round if your going for deer and say Elk but I think its a bit of an over kill with recoil for chucks and yotes. My vote goes to the 6.5-06 and likely the Ackley version to get that last little bit of speed and extended case life [/QUOTE]
