An argument can be made that the 7mm mag. is the more versatile round of the two. Hell just the fact that there can be an argument show's just how good the 280 AI can be. I have found the 280 AI to be as loader friendly as the .308. its just fun to load for.

Bob, the problem with the 7rem mag. is that, it's like our beloved .270 it is boringly good! And that is no fun. I'll keep playing with my AI as I am certain you will do with your Mashburn.
