[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1159517, member: 12995"] .280 AI is a great all-around caliber. Decent barrel life, and can definitely exceed 500 yards if you wanted to. Another fun caliber for 500 yards and less is the .25-06 AI. Very flat-shooting with Berger 115's and excellent velocities with slow powders like RL25, 7828 SSC, RL26, 7977, and H1000. It's a bit of barrel-burner, but if you let it completely cool down and don't exceed more than 3-5 rounds per string, it should last a decent while. If you want something you can shoot a lot, low recoil, and not really have to worry about barrel life, a .308 Win is hard to beat. And it would still be great for sub-500 yard hunting. [/QUOTE]
