[QUOTE="Pbethell, post: 1521979, member: 105674"] Having been first a 270 fan, later (40 years ago) became a 7mm Rem Mag fan, and more recently finally trying out the 280AI. That is one fine cartridge, gotta recommend it. Now that some factory ammo is available and factory rifles chambered for that cartridge, so much the better. Performance is very slightly behind the 7 Mag, less powder, non-belted, less noice and recoil It will require a standard (long) length action. You can build a short action on the 7 SAUM and get identical velocities as the 280AI, another shooter recommended the 6.5SAUM. Another short action choice would be the 7-08AI, either a custom, or buy a factory and get the chamber opened up to the Ackley dimensions. With a lightweight rig, i’d Keep it 7mm or less for recoil. AND both SAUM cartridges are primarily a reloading situation [/QUOTE]
