[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 278735, member: 1007"] This is kind of like the 30-06/308 debate. If all you were doing was shooting critters, you wouldnt use a 280 over a 7mmRM. However, to shoot critters ethically, one needs to practice and fine tune. In this sense, a 280 is appealing to me and others since even though the 7mmRM is faster, the 280 offers less recoil, longer barrel life and is a less finicky cartridge than the 7mmRM. All of these attributes equal more time at the range and better success in the field. Dont get me wrong, the 7mmRM has its place like most other cartridges. If all you care about is power, go with the RM. If you want good power, moderate recoil and a bit better barrel life, the 280 is a better choice. Remember, "better" is a subjective term. What is better for you? The answer will be reflected by what qualities are MORE important to you. [/QUOTE]
