[QUOTE="Forrest Ebert, post: 339449, member: 11524"] These are both good choices as others have said but you never mentioned if you were going to handload for what ever you choose? The WSM is a little harder to load for due to the short neck and as one of the other posters put it the 7mm SAUM is the better choice due to the longer neck and you can acheive the same performance with less powder. The 280AI which I have is a Great round easy to load for and if you find yourself looking for ammo you can always use standard 280 Rem. and with the hand loading you can seat the bullets out where they should be as you arwe not confined by the short actions magazine,neck etc. If this rifle is going to be for deer and antelope only I might look into the 6.5x284 Norma but that is another topic all in it's own. The 280 AI loaded with a 168 grain Berger on top of 63 grains of Retumbo I wouldn't hesitate on taking any North American and African plains game with except for the dangerous game and then I would dig deeper into my safe for something bigger. I hope this helps you out in your decission. gun) [/QUOTE]
