Just FYI, Bullet.com carries Norma brand .284 win brass. It is their exclusive and in stock, so brass is no longer an hinderence for a .284. 100 rd or 1000 rd quantities.

Norma Brand .284 win brass

I would lean toward the .284 in a NULA since he has the extra mag space in a short action. It seems like a match made in heaven. Take this with a grain of salt since I don't have the cash to try it out. You can always down load a .284 to 7-08 specs, but you can't push a -08 to .284 specs if you have the mag space his rifles allow.
