Thread: 7mm08 conversation

Definitely a reloading calibre, not just due to lack of factory ammo but to get the best performance out of the 284. And to do that you need to seat the projectiles long which means you need a long action mag (eg for Tikka). If your 708 is a true short action set up then converting to 284 is not a great idea unless (like Tikkas) you can modify the bolt stop & run a long action mag.
