[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 893680, member: 22069"] I have a 7x57. A good friend of mine has a couple of .280's. They are both good cartridges. If building a rifle, I would go with the AI version of whichever cartridge you choose. The 7x57AI is supposed to get you .284 Win level performance. The .280AI is supposed to get you in 7mm Rem Mag territory. Given that you intend to build on a Rem 700, which has a reputation for having a fairly long magazine compared to most factory rifles, the .280AI would seem to make the best use of the action/magazine length available. In the end, though, I suppose it all boils down to what you really want in terms of performance from your rifle. [/QUOTE]
