Here's one of those temperamental 7 Rem Mags that are so hard for people to get to shoot. And with those inaccurate Partitions no less.  ![[Linked Image]](http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/z395/BobinNH1/20140413_162301.jpg) Bob,sell that AWFUL shooting 7mm RM!  elkhuntr: I could sell it tomorrow and built another one just like it...would do the same things.  Ain't hard.
The 280 Remington is overbore.
The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

I got a PM from Rolly.
He's decided to go with the 7 RM.
A wise man is frequently humbled.

mathman,
One of my magazine editors told me a story years ago, about another gun writer who claimed the .308 Norma Magnum was by far the most accurate .30 caliber magnum he'd ever used, saying shot extremely well in three different rifles. (Of course, this was before the .300 WSM appeared, or any other alphabet magnums.)
The editor asked the guy for some details, and it turned out all three .308 Normas had been customs, while most of the writer's other .30 caliber magnums had been factory rifles.

I guess everyone can at least agree that a 280ai at least gets a few more fps than the 280 Rem. I think that I remember Mule Deer or someone else credible stating that the 7rem mag can have some weird pressure spikes vs. other similar cartridges. Could be wrong. I had a 280 AI done by Jim Borden. He suggested that I just go with a 7 Rem Mag. Having read much rifle mythology, I was concerned about the belted case not being as accurate. Jim said that was bunk. I did not discuss the pressure spike issue/myth with him. At the end of the day, I like the rifle and cartridge. The 30-06 and 270 together probably completely fill the mid sized game niche perfectly. Moving on, I have now been sucked into the 6.5x47 Lapua trend.
I still believe that the 280 AI " goes to 11 which is higher than 10".

Well the AI allows 70,000 PSI  Then you can get amazing results. Much better than the lowly standard cartridges.
I prefer classic.

Bob,sell that AWFUL shooting 7mm RM! elkhuntr: I could sell it tomorrow and built another one just like it...would do the same things. Ain't hard. True,had two 7mm RM and never had a problem with them not shooting good. Not as good as your's does,but good enough to kill big game with them. Also using those in-accurate NP's to boot.
