Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Custom Rifles & Wildcats Why or Why "NOT" a 284 Win. over a 7mm-08 in a custom short action rifle?

I have played with both, and .284 offers maybe 100-150 fps advantage. 7-08 is less demanding to load for in terms of OAL and 2.8" magazine box. Feeding is probably easier in a 7-08. Brass and factory loads easier to come by in 7-08.

.284 is much more a loony's cartridge.
