[QUOTE="GetReel, post: 2375799, member: 92890"] I thought I was dead set on having a new 6.5x284 built to shoot the 156 EOL’s. But now that I’ve sold the rifle I needed to to start the custom build, I’m contemplating something different. I was set on the 6.5x284 because I have everything I need for reloading. If I take that reasoning out of the equation, I start thinking of the 280ai. I know I don’t want a magnum cartridge. The goal of this rifle to me is to have a rifle I don’t hesitate to grab for just about any scenario. My new “Go-To” White tail, antelope, mule deer and maybe elk (planning an elk/mule deer trip in 2023). Something in a semi-light configuration with a ~24” carbon barrel (might shoot suppressed or with a break depending on the hunt) I want to know what information you look at to make your decisions like this? Is there a good way to to compile velocity/energy info? [/QUOTE]
