[QUOTE="cb186, post: 2804620, member: 120445"] 284, or better yet, 284 Shehane. It has a 308 bolt face, and fits a Tikka length mag. I use the Hells Canyon WSM magazine, modified for slightly longer Shehane. 3000fps with a 168vld out of a 26" barrel(9 twist) with H4350. 140gr vlds@3250+, 175's@2950. Lapua brass. Tikkas are a little on the short side for "long action" cartridges, so be aware that you may need to be cautious with seating depth. I think the 7PRC is going to be very popular, but a little long for anything but a long action. I ordered my reamer with a shorter freebore than standard(can always throat it out). 280ai is a very popular cartridge, just hard finding good brass, but has the advantage of factory ammo. [/QUOTE]
