[QUOTE="338RUM, post: 461750, member: 30235"] 6.5/280 Ackley sounds to be a good bet for your friend, it utilizes very efficient 6.5 mm bullets and is based on the 30/06 so finding brass will not be a problem, or you could order the nosler 280 AI brass and neck it down. with a 26" tube it should produce about 3200 FPS with a 140 gr bullet, but keep in mind the velocity given will be a max load and some rifles will not be able to get that speed, and may be left at 3000 FPS it just all depends on the rifle. As long as he knows the difference between paper punching effective range and hunting effective range he should be well served with a 6.5/280 Ackley [/QUOTE]
