[QUOTE="GrayCreed, post: 2132588, member: 114633"] The one thing to think about and is why I decided on the 7 rem mag OVER THE 280AI. I myself are guilty of this as well as many of the folk here in this community. (Pushing the envelope) About half of the treads other than the buying/selling go like this; .... I can get xx fps with xx bullet out of a xxSS or a xxSSM or xxWSM or xxPRC or xx-284 ...ultra super short mag..... But what happens when you load the 7mag to full capacity? And if you are worried about RECOIL in a LIGHT rifle you can also load LOWER. There are accurate loads that are at lower levels than absolutely maxing it. You can load a 7mag to act like a 7-08 or a 280ai or 7ss.....or.... Stretch out the bullet to 3.4"-3.6" and use slow powder to shoot 162-175g bullets into the 3050-3300fps realm. Then if you ever run out of PRIMERS you can buy 7mag off the shelf. While 280ai is pretty popular on the shelf here in Colorado I don't know about everywhere else. Just my 2 cents [/QUOTE]
