I think there is too much emphasis in comparing this cartridge to the 7mm Remington which doesn't draw a clear picture in my mind.

What I am looking for is to see where it compares to the 7x57 as apart from case length and capacity, the actions and case heads are the same.

If many determine the .280 is a step up from the Mauser, then the A1 could/should be 2 steps up which means the same performance with a little flatter trajectory.

If such a performer can still be build in a light rifle with 22" barrel with the same/similar yield, it may interest me for a longer trial period.
