[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1356158, member: 12995"] Like was stated, you can't really go wrong with either...They're both Americana classics with long-proven track records. The .280 AI is going to be a bit smoother recoiling, with less muzzle blast, uses less powder, but will be 100+ FPS slower than the 7mmRM. The 7mmRM will be a bit flatter-shooting, and can handle the heavier bullets better (180+) if you ever want to shoot long range or hunt longer ranges. Both have their pros and cons. Basically it comes down to, do you want flatter trajectory with slightly more recoil, or smoother/lesser recoil impulse with less muzzle velocity. I love the .280 AI, but my main deer cartridge for the last 16 seasons, has been a 7mm RemMag. I have lots of other options in the stable, but when it comes to deer hunting, I always seem to find myself grabbing the old trusty 7 Mag. [/QUOTE]
