[QUOTE="blackdog, post: 480928, member: 30105"] As far as just sticking to the 30-06, the gun seems to need a new barrel anyway, so I'm thinking why not make some improvements in performance while I'm at it. Regarding the caliber options, I read through the recent/ongoing thread on 260 vs 6.5-06 and also did some reading on the 280AI. It starts to seem that for what I'm after, they all would be a good fit, as well as the 284 just mentioned. I understand the 280AI improved takes some work to 'make' brass but didn't really understand that whole process and while at the Nosler store this last weekend, suffered a little sticker shock looking at the price of their 280AI brass. Wow! So, considering those calibers, are there conversion complications to consider (new bolt, etc)? And what are the issues with forming or buying brass for them? (These may be stupid questions and I should probably have started this thread in the 'getting started' section, but I appreciate the help) [/QUOTE]
