[QUOTE="longrangebob, post: 89002, member: 3744"] I have a Browning 78 in .280 AI and like it very well. I also enjoy a 6.5X284 and have found it to be extremely accurate. I would probably go with the 6.5 rather than the .284 and the only advantage I find at the moment would be based on what rifle you want to use... as the 280AI requires a longer action than the 6.5X284 or the 284 left to the 7mm. bullet. If I was hunting bigger game I would use the 280 v. the 6.5..... both shoot fine out to 1000 metres (haven't tried the 6.5 past that yet) -- but I would not really want to hunt anything with that size bullet at that distance... I would want to use something "fast" in a .338.... LRB [/QUOTE]
