[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 36400, member: 8947"] Big E, the AI Mauser is simply a 280 rem. My vote is for a 6.5-06 and improved versions. I am having a hoot with mine (6.5-06) and they will certainly deliver the goods at the ranges you want. I stuff mine with 140gr SST and spit them out of a 24" barrel at 2975fps. At 500yds, they create a very large welt on the backside of my 5/8" thick swinging steel gong. At 600yds, the onside crater is substantial and the backside does show some distortion. For weight of bullet, this combo still hits hard. I doubt I would use it beyond 800yds though - a bit light. Jerry [/QUOTE]
