[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 1356172, member: 68875"] I have both. Phoenix Custom Rifles built 7RM pushing a 180 Hybrid @ 2996. I use H1000, so speeds are "moderate" but accuracy is phenominal. I am just finishing up load development on my new AxisWorks built lighterweight .280AI. My final load is right on the edge of being too hot with 1 in 3 showing slight signs of pressure pushing a 175 Elite Hunter as fast as safe and possible. But it is a hunting rifle, so it won't see hundreds of rounds a year with this load. Bullet is 5gr lighter, but speeds are NOT 100fps slower. I am using RL23, so speeds are above average....well above average. Either one is a legitimate deer cartridge for about as far as you would care to shoot at game (1k+). Elk would be about 900 or so max for my criteria. I just shot a good bull with my 7RM last month @ 662 yards. Bull went 50 yards and piled up. Either rifle/catridge/bullet combo would have done the trick I believe. [/QUOTE]
