[QUOTE="VLD Pilot, post: 1891841, member: 103947"] Opinions vary on the subject of LR hunting cartridges. Consider this. The factory load for the 7 Remington magnum in 162 edx sends the round at under 3000 fps. If the magnum is your choice for this goal, a handloaded 284 or 280/280 AI will send the same projectile at or over 3000 fps. My short action 284 runs them 3000 fps easily with great accuracy. There was once a time when the non- magnums had no place in the LR game for big game such as elk but that's not the case today. No offense as it's your personal opinion but I thought I'd throw in a little fact to go along with your comment. This applies to the sibling 6.5-284, 6.5-06, 6.5 PRC etc with premium LR game bullets.
