It will be easier as well. I doubt I would get a mag for the 93 to hold that case.

I will also have to buy a new bolt head.
Cheaper and safer to go the .280AI
It will handle anything I would be capable of.

You reckon I wussed out eh? I fired a few through sneeze's cooper and liked it.... a lot.

Whats the wingman got over the 7mm practical? Speed wise. Im picking the later would be easier to setup , simple ream and shoot job isnt it? Also what do you think of a short barreld 284 like 18 inches how quick would that get the amax going. #randomdumbquestions.

Well be much of a much maybe little bit on it? And shorter nicer case. The wingman would be as much work if not less as the practical since it's got imp shoulder?

I'd think it would go down to around the 7mm08 speeds at a guess? but not done it to know mate sorry

The standard 7mm RUM is no work at all and with a properly designed lead/throat and barrel type/length can spit the 180g Berger out at 3400+ fps, if you want more barrel life or less recoil just slow it down, 95 grains of 2225 will give you 3225 fps or thereabouts with a 162 grainer, and you will have what you want.

The Berger 180g Elite Hunter projectile is extremely useful around those velocities, even so the 26 inch 338 Edge with a 300g Elite Hunter projectile is streets above it in barrel life, internal and external ballistics uniformity and terminal ballistics performance.

The Edge and RUM are childs play to make ammo for.

Load data? Huge long tube and massive pressure load cases wouldn't last long?

Are you asking me or assuming and telling me? , you put a question mark on a statement.
