[QUOTE="Hawkeye Pierce, post: 1800945, member: 112455"] Really it will depend on the longer term end goal, are you wanting to go to bigger animals like elk or stay with deer sized as well as the question of how much target Shooting you're going to do? dont forget about action length as well .If you're staying in the deer sized and want flat out speed from a short action check out the 6.5 Sherman Short. 140 gr bullet to 3300 fps is pretty dang good from a short action. Also the 6.5 is cheaper to reload when target Shooting. If you think you might be interested in elk someday and the 280 family would be better energy on target. I know that there are guys who hunt larger game with the 6.5 and I am 1 of them, I don't know how proficient you are and how comfortable you are with nontraditional shooting positions. So the 7mm is a little more forgiving. And some one please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the 280 ai is a long action. So if you're looking at short action [URL]https://shermanwildcatcartridges.com/7-ss[/URL] Could fit the bill. [/QUOTE]
