I run a 280AI and it does fine out to the ranges you want and likely farther . I feed it 162 ELDX’s atop of full charges of 19, 22 or 26. Shoots them all equally welll. I went 280AI because I was sitting on a 30-‘06 donar and about 800 ct of 06 brass. So, it made sense for me. I may give 175ELDX’s a try but the 162’s do all I want or need. If I were to start from scratch I would likely do a 7RM properly throated,twisted and with a magazine box set up to run 180 grain class bullets. The 7RM case to me is about ideal case capacity for 160-180 grain 7mm bullets. The AI is almost but not quite. It will do for me for now though. JMO. A 7-08 with 180's,outclassses a 280AI and 162 ELD X's. Hint................

Wait for the 7 creedmoor...... just shoot a 708 with a 9 or 8 twist....
It is not about what you kill, it is about the hunt....

7mm Weatherby throated how they should be is pretty impressive. I’m shooting 180 scenars, can kiss the lands and still have a repeater with 180eldm and scenars. Imr 8133 or RE26 are my preferred powders .
The biggest problem is brass. The quality of belted brass isn’t even on the same planet with what’s available for other cartridges these days.
I’d shoot the hell out of a 7 creedmoor, Bring it on!

Be fairly easy to neck and throat to 7mm in a creed.
I’m not an organ donor. I don’t believe in an afterlife, but I’d rather cover my bases in case there is and I need everything. You just never know.

Stick, Do you own a 7 x 57 among your throng of .284 offerings? If so what is your preferred load outta it?
If you find yourself in a hole....quit digging

28 Nosler = 7 STW
7mm Practical and 7/300 Win are easier due to brass. Depending on Nosler to make brass is a really bad idea.

Ping pong balls for the win. Once you've wrestled everything else in life is easy. Dan Gable I keep my circle small, I’d rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies.

I'm sort of partial to the 7 mils, finding them a good blend in velocity, BC,recoil and stuff falling over. Right now I've got the 7-08 in a Tikka that my daughter shoots, a 7 Rem in a Kimber Select-grade, a 7-300 Win in a Sako/Hart/ McMillan build, 4 STWs; two on M70s, a Cooper Western Classic and a Shilen/Gaillard/ McMillan. Last but not least a 28 Nosler in a Defiance/Carbon McMillan/ Frozen Fiber.
If I were starting over it would likely be 7-300. It seems to be right at the edge of the most powder that should be shoved down a .284 hole, brass is a given, and its a happy marriage with 3.600- 3.700 mag boxes. I can even keep a barrel alive for awhile.

Life begins at 40. Recoil begins at "Over 40" Coincidence? I don't think so.
