tinkerfive Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 Many 7 X 57 to 280 have been done on large ring actions. If you are on a small ring action, you'll want to stick with 7 X 57 and it's original pressure loadings. A 280 is a high pressure round to start with and the 'improved' version a scoch higher yet. A small ring action is not made for those pressures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z1r Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 Hmm, I posted last night but it seems to have disappeared into the ether. Ditto what Tinker says. Use the 7x57, have fun, save money, shoot more. If it were a 98 then what you are considering would be much more tempting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
