[QUOTE="TRG65, post: 3070834, member: 103919"] Another vote for the 6.5x55 AI. I run a short action version, the 6.5 Addiction. Running the 6.5x55AI in a long action would be a lot of fun. Even running a short action, I'm still running very close to what you'll find online for a 6.5x284. I'm pushing a 127 Barnes LRX at 3040 and a Berger 140 at 2930 from my current 25" barrel. The 6.5x55AI uses powder in the burn range just a bit slower than 6.5 Creedmoor and 308, but it can run Creedmoor powders also. Therefore, it tends to have a few more available options than the more popular cartridges. Also, the brass tends to have very good quality brass available for less money than other more popular cartridges. I'm on my 4th barrel. The first three were all used for PRS matches. I got about 1500 rounds per barrel. [/QUOTE]
