[QUOTE="sodakota, post: 1601302, member: 81002"] I have both. In fact I have three 7RM’s. The two 700 7 RM’s are very accurate. One will often shoot 1/2 MOA with hunting loads. That’s an early 700 with ss barrel - factory. I’ve built a 280AI with 1 in 9 twist 26”. I have not wrung it our yet. I wanted to try some high BC bullets. If you want the smaller one go for it. The usual statement is “I can almost get the same velocity with the smaller case.” That philosophy will eventually get you to a 7mm TCU or smaller. One reason often given for the 280AI is that it can hold one more in the magazine. For shooters that shoot so poorly that they need one more in the magazine then that’s a great argument. Sorry for the negativity, but it all boils down to personal preference. I like 280’s 280AI’s and 7mm RM. If I were to have just one, it would either be a 280 or a 7mm RM. [/QUOTE]
