[QUOTE="Wyo32, post: 2080705, member: 103274"] Both are great cartridges. I was always going to build a 280ai and had not considered a 284 until a friend of mine that shoots F-class (600 and 1000) switched from 7 saum to 284. I am a bench rest shooter but not an F-class competitor. I tend to keep my hunting rifles in the 24" or less for barrel length and for my Black Hills rifles I try to stay in the 22" range. I sacrifice the bit of velocity for the ease of handling. I like your thinking on the 22" barrel. At that length and 160 gr. bullets, the difference between the two cartridges is negligible. You just burn less powder to reach the virtual same velocity. I like building rifles with cartridges (and variants) that will use Lapua brass. With that said, I exist in the realm of the bench rest psychosis of neck turning, and all the rest that goes with that world. Analysis paralysis. But I love my 284 win. [/QUOTE]
