Short Barreled 280AI

[Ikmclean]

Are you using a short or long action? What powder are you using?

The 284 is intriguing if it can be done on a true short action. SAAMI spec is 2.8" OAL but with Hawkins hunter mags you can seat your bullets out a bit longer (2.98"max). It uses less powder (and I would think less recoil as well), standard primers, and more mag capacity than a 7saum.
