[QUOTE="Shumba, post: 608295, member: 12337"] If you are set on shooting 140's the 6.5 will be superior where wind drift is concerned. The 6.5 will also start pulling away from the 280 drop wise @800 yards. However if you build the 280 specifically for 160 and up bullets like the 168 and 180 Bergers, the 6.5 is not in the same league ballistically and also where terminal ballistics is concerned there is no comparison. I shot the 280 AI for years thinking the 140 at 3250 was the bomb. I built a rifle for the 180's and man what I have been missing. [/QUOTE]
