New Year's wish...please lord...bring back the 284 win w/1:8 twist and make lots of brass!
One of the guys that used to post here did a 284Win. on a rechambered 7-08 Tikka, using a long action magazine and the modified bolt stop.
Seemed like a nice way to get there, and with 6.5x284 brass available there's no issues getting brass either.
Thinking 9 twist is enough for anything you want to spit out of that case. It will spin the 180s no problem.
FWIW, I don't think the 280AI will clean up the 7-08 chamber without a lot of setback.
