[QUOTE="Hand Skills, post: 1942214, member: 103303"] If your main concern is performance on game, I don't believe there is enough of a difference between the two to warrant the 7mm. If you are keeping it inside 500yd, the 6.5 PRC isn't going to do anything a .280AI cant, and that's the way I lean. I adopted the 280 Rem as a deer rifle a couple of years ago, and am very happy with it. Pleasant to shoot, quiet (seriously), and effective. I can't explain it, but it is the quietest centerfire I own. I'm not alone in this observation either... On the topic of muzzle brakes, it depends on the brake, but from the shooters perspective, some increase the sound energy of the report by 10x. Yes 150dB is going to so some damage, but 160dB is going to do a LOT more. Or to put it another way, from the ear's perspective, 1 report of a braked rifle is like hearing 10 reports from the same rifle without a brake... Food for thought [/QUOTE]
