[QUOTE="Rifleslut, post: 1734908, member: 111029"] I have both a 6.5x284 and 2 280AI’s. I love them dearly. Both benefit a lot with 24” or 26” barrels. My 6.5x284 shoots a 147 eldm at 2995fps with a 26” barrel. My 24” 280 ai barrels push a 180 hybrid to 2900fps. The 280’s have better energy for elk. The recoil of a 6.5x284 is so mild my 9 year old daughter shoots it. Lapua brass is a huge plus. The nosler 280ai brass is good too. RL26 is made for both those calibers. My advice, don’t choose just one. Make one of each. [/QUOTE]
