Have been toying with a .284 but my "20 barrel 7mm08 is doing 2800 with 150 ELD-X, not much gains i'd think.

Would be interested to know how much re17 you are using in the 708.
I use it in my 708 Kimber (18") under 140 NABs but have no idea how fast they are going.
Have settled on 47gr (not a starting load) as most accurate.
Interesting that although this rifle has always been accurate it is more so since the barrel chop.
Less whip in the skinny barrel I guess.
