While I've never liked the 7mm Mag, I do like the .280 with decent handloads. The 7mm mag will exceed the 280 by about 100fps, so that puts it in the same group.

I'd not feel undergunned with the standard .280, so the 7mm mag. should be a modicum better - still don't like the round, though. Damn belted cases - short or long - we hates 'em. I have a couple, but still hates 'em.




At least you've said this with a smile. What didn't you like about the 7mm Mag or was it just the belted case? I've never had any problems with belted, always re-sized to chamber on the shoulder same as I do for non-belted for longer case life in any gun.
I never really follow the logic behind statements such as your first sentence because you can always go the other way and say the 7x57 or 7mm-08 is only 100fps behind the 280 so they are in the same group as the 280 which of course using your argument, puts them in with the 7mm Mag. Not so, each of these are in their own group and I view them as the smaller cartridges handle the 140grs best, the 280 the 150 grains best and the 7mm Mag the 160 grains best.
