Yup; it will be a reworked 06 or a 280AI before it is all over.

Nonetheless years ago Montanna Marine posted pics and reports of his tactical 06 he was using to fling long distance and the idea of an 06 purpose built for long distance kinda grabbed my mind. Loading for the RUM kinda gave me the revelation that up beyond the 06 case efficiency seems to fall of dramatically.

I am thinking that a purpose built long range 06 with heavy bullets can beat a 280AI

I would enjoy exploring that debate.

I think the B/C of the 240smk is over 7.
