[QUOTE="JD284win, post: 2224380, member: 110785"] As a guy that shot a 280Ai for about 10 years. Killing 3 elk with it and lots of deer and pigs. Its a great do all cartridge. With heavy bullets like 168 to 180s the 284 win in a long action is a better choice. The 284win is easier to get your jump right do to mag length not being much issue. 280ai with 168 to 180s can get a little long. If it wasn't for trying to better tune heavier 7mm bullets I'd still have my 280ai. Both cartridges are hard to beat. My 284win runs 177 hammer hunters at 2800fps with R23. It will shoot them to 2900fps but start to get pressure signs. My wife's 284win shoots Barnes 145 lrx at 3050 with R15. I'm just getting started on my 6.5x284 build. Everybody I know that has one loves it. [/QUOTE]
