[QUOTE="Jcann, post: 3731709, member: 33119"] I shot a 7mm RM for 20 years, a 300WSM for 10 years and then rebarreled it to 7WSM. I love heavy for caliber bullets in .284. If I didn’t have 250 loaded 7WSM with Berger 180 grain hunting VLD’s and another 150 pieces of virgin brass I would probably be looking at an 280AI. You can get excellent performance with modern bullets close to and possibly exceeded some 7mmRM ballistics. The 280AI has a track record from the 1960’s with a greater following today. More and more ammo manufacturers are loading for it with LR bullets and more firearm manufacturers are chambering rifles in it. Ballistically, how it compares to the 6.8 western I haven’t a clue but I do know the track record of Browning and Winchester with regards to new chamberings…….how they stop supporting them after a few years [/QUOTE]
