I know what many of you are going to say - why a 21" barrel? I'm sure that seems awfully short to some of you. But I'm dead set on going no longer than 21" to keep this rifle a manageable length and weight. Why a long action? Because I already have one to build on, that's why...
Now with that out of the way, I need your opinion. Would you rather go .280ai or a long-throated .284 Win?
I'm having a barrel built and can go with either option. I was thinking since this is a long action build on a short barrel, maybe the .284 Win would be the better choice? I could then seat long coppers like the 145 LRX or high-bc bullets like the 162's and 168's as long as I wanted.
Thoughts?
