[QUOTE="KiwiIan, post: 1868014, member: 109579"] Other calibers that could be worth considering 7mm saum or 300 WSM. Reason for these to take into consideration, 7 saum has a case capacity which holds a nominal amount of powder which will give you greater flexibility when it comes to powder choices in the shorter barrel (case capacity more or less equal to the 280 ai). 300 WSM will offer a improved burn rate in a short barrel. The distances that you're expecting to shoot 500 yards won't be a handicap with slightly lower BC .30 bullets. 2800 fps should still be achievable with say a 200 grain ELDx in an 18" barrel. A decent suppressor would make it nicer to shoot [/QUOTE]
