[QUOTE="CONatureBoy, post: 2325667, member: 118769"] 6.5 x 280 AI sounds like a really neat caliber for this kind of work. I built a 264 Win Mag with a 1:7.5" twist barrel specifically to shoot Berger EOL 156-grain bullets, with wolves and antelope in mind. (Great bullet for long range and strong crosswinds, which you expect when hunting both of those critters.) I launch the EOL at a little over 3,000 fps without getting near a hot load. Expect you'd get similar results with the same barrel on the 6.5 x 280 AI. To extend the comparison: my 280 AI sends a 180-grain VLD at 3,000 fps, which is as much as you can generally expect from a 7mm Rem Mag (same case as the 264 Win Mag). Likely the same deal here. If I had known the 6.5 x 280 AI existed, I'd probably have chosen it. [/QUOTE]
