[QUOTE="Korhil78, post: 1141977, member: 34818"] Do you ever have aspirations of shooting at game at longer than 600 yards? If so then you might want to think about a cartridge that will do what you are wanting and more for when you are ready to shoot longer distances. Do you mind fireforming brass and the other necessary steps that it might take to do something like the 6.5 Sherman? If it were me, I would build a 280AI. That will stomp deer easily to your distances. Very efficient and not bad recoil (virtually none if you put a good brake on it). You don't have to fireform any brass since nosler already makes 280AI brass. And then I just read that your dad isn't interested in the 7mm types haha. Oh well. If you wanna keep it at 6.5, you should look hard at the 6.5x284. That is going to be my next build. [/QUOTE]
