[QUOTE="nmbarta, post: 2043355, member: 78438"] 9 twist is perfect for the 280ai imo, 162's or 168's@ 3000 ish is pretty decent energy and very manageable recoil in a light rifle. For the ranges your talking about, this would be a pretty good choice. I agree that though the prc offers quite a bit over the cm, the 7mm bullets offer something the 6.5's can't in comparable bullets. (just like 30's offer something that 7's can't) For the bigger critters I'd lean toward the 280ai out of those two for sure. The 7saum is basically a ballistic twin to the 280ai but a short action, so I prefer it. Not sure if that's an option in the rifle your looking at. The 7saum will best it in a long action, the 7wsm will beat it. Obviously so will the sherman and many others. I'm just pointing out what's going to be said, not trying to sway you in any way.
