There is no 284 brass in sweden, sometimes you can se win brass but its rare and expensive in relation to quality.

7saum and 7wsm - sure nice calibers, but i cant afford the barrels. American quality barrels like Krieger I have to wait 6-10 months for them and pay twice what you pay. I need someting not so overbore. 7-08/284 is what im at now. Im still leaning to 7-08. Would not a 7-08AI with 3.0 oal and the right free bore be darn effective sending 140-168 slugs?


Why not a 7x64? I would guess that's easier to find than any 284 in Europe.

I am a fan of odd balls. 280 Rem does nothing for me, but I am having a 7x64 built right now. What's the difference, 25fps?
