Thread: 284 on Husky action

Well if your after a 280, then trade me has a real nice M70 Winchester and a CZ 550, as well as couple 280AI, at present.
7x64 and 280 rem brass is 20 thou difference in length, 7x64 normally throated longer than 280 rem.
I am developing loads for a Sako AV 7x64 at present, and it has a long enough action to fit a 375 H&H, 7x64 have lots of free bore, I cant get near the lands or mag length, with a Eld-x 162,
I was looking into a .284 myself, struggled to find brass, was offered a 7x64 Sako for cheap,

Seams rifle treads come and go a bit, nothing wrong with sum of the older cartridges, esp. when loaded to same pressures, as more modern ones.

I have a spare CF2 action that would be perfect for a 280 project. Plenty of length, great trigger and feed. Will fit into a Rem 700 blind stock. PM me if interested.
Regarding recoil. I have a 270 with a Bell and Carlson Kevlar stock. That stock, because of the soft Kevlar absorbs recoil to where it feels like shooting a 222.

Interesting that stock...reading Mooseman's posts a 270 with superperformance and the ELDX is a serious option...
