[QUOTE="Slick8, post: 1922792, member: 52585"] Lots of good choices offered and I'd lean heavily on a 280 improved in either Sherman or AI. Having said that, in the last year or two I've become a fan of the heavy 30s. They do work on game and don't need incredible velocity to do it. Were it me, for the reason above id look at the 300 or 338 Sherman running a 215 or 250 berger respectively. In a 26 inch barrel you'd be in the 27-2800 fps range....estimated. That's more then enough to do work on any non-dangerous game. I'm planning a short barreled light build next year and it will be the above or a short mag variant. Better yet, get a WTO switch lug installed and get a 65 sherman and a 338. Fully covered at that point.🤔 [/QUOTE]
