I'm dreading hunting season. The prey usually does.

7mm08, 120 TTSX at 3,000 fps. I'd think that would work on elk....

Any of the .284 diameters are vastly superior to a .270...
And they're not gay. Under 140 gr. they vastly ain't.

It's official. I missed the selfie deadline so I'm Maser's sock puppet because rene and the Polish half of the fubar twins have decided that I am.

And they're not gay. We need to tell the 270-defunct animals all about this. I'm sure it'll make them feel better.
The 280 Remington is overbore.
The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

Ok looks like the 280ai gets the nod over the standard 280. I kinda figured it would be preferred. I just wished there was a way of getting 280AI brass with the correct headstamp. I am anal as hell and would rather my brass have the right headstamp. Is nosler brass not a big deal to most of you? I just really like norma and lapua brass. Scenarshooter....Are you saying that the nosler 280AI brass is actually made by Norma? If so, that is awesome. I'm not sure how, based on the answers you got here, you came to that conclusion. . 'cause that's what he wanted in the first place.

Seems no consideration is ever given to the platform, but just the slight difference performance. Maybe someone's making 7# 7mags somewhere, but I've never seen one. Montana 7WSM will go 7# done. If an 8# rig is whats on the table, might as well fill the chamber to the top I say, and keep it simple.
I don't see an 8# 280 as worth the effort. If I were after 7#, then yes to the 280.
Remmie's box and throat in 7RM is perfect as far as I'm concerned.

Tikka makes a 7 Rem Mag that'll go 7# all up, not that I'd own another...

I didn't even think about Tikka. Pretty funny actually. I'd pass on a 7# 7RM myself.
And did.

You'd have a ball with the 1:8 223 T-3 SL/SWFA10MQ, BTW

Just for grins, I googled "Is 280 AI gay?" I got this: I tried "Is 280 Remington gay?" I got this: I think I'd stick with the 280 Rem.

Man, if only you could have a rifle that could shoot BOTH .280 Rem AND .280 Ack.
Wouldn't that be something?

That makes far too much sense and will never catch on. Now, if you neck the case down to .277 and rework it a bit, you might really have something inferior that will drive Joe Public wild.
