  280 Rem ammo is still pretty hard to find where I live. The same is true of the AI. 7 RM not so much-pretty much everywhere.

  I’ve got to go with the 280AI, I’ve owned three 7mags, but didn’t like them, but I love the 280AI

  I have reloaded the 7mm Rem Mag for years and didn&apos;t have to worry about bulging cases because I only sized the neck since the cases were always fired in the same rifle. By only sizing the neck the cases fit more precisely into the chamber because they are already fire formed.

  I&apos;m a hand loader so the 280 AI. Is my choice. I prefer non belted cartridges all day every day. In the event there is ammo shortages I can &nbsp;always make 280AI out of a host of cartridges( &nbsp;25-06 .270 .280 30-06 )with minimal effort.

  I own bought and don’t &nbsp;think you can go wrong with either. However, If I could only have one rifle for life I’d pick one chambered in 280ai.

  Just bought a 280 ackley. Being a lefty I&apos;m limited on options for rifle and caliber choices but settled on a savage 110 ultralite. Currently don&apos;t have an available 7 rem mag that I want. I just like 7mm in general both are winners in my book.

  The 280AI uses less powder, has less recoil, does not have a belted case, provides more cartridge capacity in a shorter handier rifle, all while delivering essential the same performance as the 7 Mag. 280 AI for the WIN!

  I&apos;m taking the 7mm rem mag had them both they both shot great but they both kicked about the same ... &nbsp;easier to find 7 mag ammo.

  Been shooting the &nbsp;7mag since the 80&apos;s. First rifle I ever bought and still hunt with is a Ruger M77 in 7mag. Mule Deer, Pronghorn, and Elk. It&apos;s been a great cartridge for me. If I had bought a 280AI I&apos;m sure I&apos;d feel the same way. Either is good. But I&apos;m a 7mag man.

  You forgot to add the point for availability of guns and ammo
