Thanks guys for all the suggestions. I hadn't thought of the 35 Whelen though I think it's a bit more than I wanted. I will also look into the 6.5/06 ballistics a bit but I still think the 280AI is top of the list.
Yep, and with Pat's endorsement (Scenarshooter); as Trump would say: That's Yuge...
With the availability of good quality brass, not having to fire form, it's a no-brainer...
