the only advantage i see with the 7mm-08 over the 284 in this case is if you need ammo on a trip....since you are a handloader load up and move on just make sure you have your ammo when you leave.....
I couldnt decide on a 22 or 24 inch barrel so I just split the difference at 23...Melvin ordered the twist rate so I can only assume it is a 1-9...
