[QUOTE="osok-1k, post: 1916836, member: 106259"] I love the 280, both in the Remington dress and in Ackley form, I also really like 6.5x55 AI which will deliver near 3000FPS with a 140 class bullet if you roll your own. Those speeds are very close to the PRC with a little more magazine capacity and less recoil. I was seriously considering a 6.5 PRC build but it doesn't add enough velocity to out perform the 6.5x55 AI in any real world scenario or at least in my world. I'm not a big fan of magnums since I like to eat more of what I shoot and I can watch impact with a less than magnum cartridge. I also like my 270, Hornady 145 ELDX works great a pretty long ranges, Last season I used it and took a buck at 404yds with a neck shot, DRT. 270 WSM would be even better at longer ranges. [/QUOTE]
