I too have owned both the .280 and 7mmRM.. I sold the .280 after one season.. We have been shooting t he 7mmRM since 1991.. It offers excellent speed with the 140 grain bullet, and has been an excellent rifle for everything from coyotes to moose.. With the 140 shot in 3"high at one hundred yards, it drops a bit less than 2 feet at 500 yards.. I seldom need this distance any more, but it is nice to know that is offered if an exceptional mule deer buck is scene..
