[QUOTE="Raudy707, post: 2378194, member: 105681"] He already chose the 6.5 but since we're LOL. Another member on this forum pushes his 280AI a little harder and provided his data...Let's see a 6.5 shoot a 195 grain bullet. Even at a 280AI at a methodical 2750 can do some work at 1000 yards. The ****ing contest is very close no matter the outcome, but at the end of the day I'm shooting 6.5's at deer and 7mm and 30's at elk. That's just my preference. You and the OP like the 6.5's, so that's cool. Go kill em. [I]"I have had good results so far shooting heavy bullets in my 280AI. I have found IMR 7828SSC, H1000 and RL 23 all work well with 180gn Bergers and 195 Bergers. A few loads I have worked up so far:" 180 Berger Hyb 58.0gn RL 23 Fed 210M 2.821" to ogive (~0.020" off) 2923 fps, SD 3.4 0.36" x 3 shots 195 Berger EH 56.5gn RL 23 CCI BR-2 2.814" to ogive (~0.020" off) 2793 fps, SD 14.7 0.38" x 3 shots 180 Hornady ELDM 59.0gn H1000 Fed 210M (~0.020" off) 2746 fps, SD 12.8 0.34" x 4 shots 195 Berger EH 59.7gn H1000 Fed 210M (~0.020" off) 2762 fps, SD 17.9 0.42" x 3 shots[/I] [/QUOTE]
