[QUOTE="Roughrice, post: 3089893, member: 118657"] You are right on track! 7mm-08 is in the ballpark of the 7x57 (hence, the low recoil) but not with the 284 and 280 Rem. Facts supporting your comments: 1) Plenty of brass and factory ammo for 280 and 7mm-08... less with 7x57 and very little to none with 284 Win. 2) HP of the 280 Rem and 284 Win beat the 7x57 and 7mm-08 every time, period. 3) If you want 3000fps with 140's... 280 Rem and 284 Win are the only ones in this group that will safely provide that performance. Some people shoot one of these cartridges a few times a year and make comments and suggestions. Some people shoot hundreds of rounds per month of different cartridges and know the ballistics of many and can give facts from actual load testing. With that said... in your situation with a long action standard bolt and availability of components... I'd go 280 Rem! Best of luck with your choice and build! [/QUOTE]
