why not run get 280 rem and blow it out and run with the 7mag while burning less powder.


i dont see anyreason feeding would be concern .

if it were the wsm wssm blown out 284 cases 6 brs and the like wouldnt work as hunting rounds because they be reduced to single feeding. this is not the case.

unless for some reason the 308 case is already feeding poorly from short actions. i d dont think it is .


just thinkn.

why not rechamber to 284. this case is almost identical to the 280 cases volume while running in a short action. but bullets might be seated into the shoulder. theres on reason not to.


the 7mm08 is great case left alone. itl work at close and long range when fed the right bullets. itl also work on very large game wwhile chewing on the heavy 175s.

while not being flashy about the 708 just does it all very well.
