[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 781063, member: 10"] This might suprise some but I am not a huge fan of Nolser brass. Love their bullets, not their brass. Not that its bad but I personally think its very costly for what you get and spending a bit of time on the loading bench will get you as good of brass using Rem or Win brand cases. That said, for 0 to 600 yard shooting, either would work great, 280 offers longer barrel life but the STW offers less worry about the wind out to 600, no question. The 280 AI will match most factory loaded ammo in the 7mm Rem Mag with same bullet weights but thats because most factory loaded 7mm Rem Mag loads are down loaded to make the 7mm STW or 7mm RUM look better then they are. In reality, if you handload, the 7mm Rem Mag will do anything the 7mm Wby Mag can do so it will run a solid 150 fps over the 280 AI with good handloads. Still the 280 AI is very potent for a 0.470 diameter case head chambering and great barrel life. In the end, not a bad choice between the two. I tend to error on the higher performance level personally but I know someone to replace barrels if thats needed.....:rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
