Well JB,
That’s a fair comparison. I have loaded for all but three of the 7mm cartridges. I have never expected my 280, nor my 280 AI to draft my 7 Wby’s. To do so would be foolish. As many of my kills have been at the hand of 7mm 150’s averaging 2850 fps at ranges out to 400 yards, I am quite happy with that combo.
My 7 Wby can really make some laser beam vapor trails & I enjoy hunting with it. Never actually felt it offered any appreciable advantage over my 280’s for 90% of my hunting.
Never expected a 280 to be a 7 Wby or vice-versa.
