[QUOTE="Buck Fever, post: 1893327, member: 113501"] The way I went when I didn't go 280AI was 284 Winchester. It works well with H4831, good brass is available and 284 might have more accuracy potential than 280AI. Since it's a "short action" chambering, using it in a long action gives you plenty of room for long pointy bullets in common magazines. If you are thinking of building a 280AI, building a 284 is just about the same, just using a different chamber reamer. It seemed like a better solution than 280AI. I thought about WSM and SAUM in 7mm but brass availability, barrel life and powder efficiency are issues and 284 has enough muzzle velocity for the target shooting I want to do. [/QUOTE]
