65BR,
There has never been a day in the past 5 years that I could
not buy 284 Win brass. You only need one brand.
Day in, day out, it's a phone call away.
In my opinion too many peopel have magnumitis when its really not necessary.

There's nothing magnum about the 284. It simply sends bullets down range at just about 280R speed.
To say the 284 has nothing over the 708, you might as well say the same thing about the 280.
What I used to do with a 280 in a long action I now do
with the 284 in a short action.
And, whatever the 7mm WSM does better than the 284, the 284 does better than a 708.
Going 284 really eliminates the need of going 708 AI.
It has a 35 degree should and another 125 to 150 fps over the AI 708.
To each his own, I know what the 284 case will do and I utilize it's more horse power in a short action .473 bolt face.
