No, a 284 win (ballistic twin of the 280 rem) will only push a 162 grain bullet at around 2850-2900 fps from a 26" barrel. I have a 7mm-08 and a 6.5x284, i am building a 284 win to replace the 7mm-08 if that tells you anything.Can you get a 162 to fly 3000 fps out of a 7-08? Also, can this be done in a 24" barrel? Man if so, I might have to consider a selling my 6.5-284 and set up a 7-08 with 168 berger vlds. I thought 3000 fps is 7mm mag levels.
I dont think so, he wants to know how the ballistics of the 7mm-08 compare to the ballistics of the 6.5x284. With the 160 grain matrix at 2800 fps vs the 162 grain amax, the 6.5x284 wins hands down. Now lets say 168 grain berger from the 7mm-08 at 2700 fps vs the 160 matrix from the 6.5x284, again, the 6.5x284 wins with very similar recoil. IMO the 6.5x284 is a far better round as long as you dont plan on shooting a dog town.And that is anything but apples to apples.
