Once a thread has the useful information out of the way, it pretty much deteriorates into this...:)
Well Casey, just get a 280AI and you will have SAAMI on your side.
I would think that would appeal to you---Monica certainly has a bit more displacement.
I think I'll name my 243 "Monica".........  Casey

Not being married to any particular political party sure makes it a lot easier to look at the world more objectively...
Having said that, MAGA.

Casey, my friend, let me help you by way of comparison. As this is a family forum, I will omit the graphics.
The 7mmRM is like a set of DDs. Impressive performance but may require a slightly oversized package to balance things out.
The 280AI is like a D. It has the ability to be balanced in the smaller package of the C, while possessing the more impressive characteristics of the D.
The 7-08 is a C. Like Mary Poppins, perfect in nearly every way in the lighter weight configurations.
The 270 in not really a C nor is it really a D. It became popular when the C&D were yet to be appreciated for their intrinsic qualities.
The 243 on good day is a B, and is best bored out to a 7-08 to arrive at a pleasing balance, while possessing the potential for more consistant performance.
Hope this helps.

 Sigh!!! So,it appears that the differences between a C and a D and in your viewing and tactile pleasures,.........are seven-thousandths of an inch......glad I was not callin' them that close when I was bar hoppin'..... 
The 280 Remington is overbore.
The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

In regard to the OP, I have a terrific half moon scar on my forehead from my 5.6 lb 7 mm mag.
just sayin, don't hold her loose in a pinch like I did.

I would go with the 7mm08. If you were to cut 4 inches off the barrel like was suggested, that is what you would end up with anyhow.

True Bob--it was exceeding difficult to get consistent empirical data, particularly from certain well-qualified subjects who definitely should have been included in the sample, as well as the challenges mixing micrometers and beer...:)

Casey apparently realizes that as an elk rifle his 243 blows! _
