[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1503024, member: 87243"] Of those I would do .260 AI or 6.5x284. The 6.5x284 will get you in the 2900's easy with almost any suitable powder in a 24". In the .260 AI, you will be slightly more limited on powder selection, but I hit 3000 fps with h4831, however that is with a 29" barrel. With a couple powders you will likely get in the low 2900's. The easiest by far....6.5x284. You said you don't care to go over 3000, in that case I would skip the sherman shortmag. You can buy brass, its expensive but you can, the dies are also expensive as well. With the 6.5x284, everything is easy. If you want to send a 140 at 3300+ however, the sherman is a fantastic option.
