    280 AI vs. 7 PRC

    We have both, 280ai is custom on an old savage action, the 7prc is a Fierce Reaper. Both are accurate and shoot better than we do but AI gets the field time. I've had the prc for 3 years, its gone bear hunting once. If I off load it, it will be replaced with a 6.5cm, 280ai, or 7saum..

    Superior 7MM?

    I have owned a 7 magnum of some sort, all my adult life... My wife's 280ai, the 7-08, and 6.5cm see more range time and feild time... I've owned a 7prc for 3 years and only taken it on 1 hunt and it has less than 200rds through it. When a 7 mag was my only, I used it more but now that I have...

    Poll - One all around single cartridge under conditions

    I have no experience with the 6cm, or any cm other than a 6.5cm. I will say with the 6.5cm I only had 1 animal take a step. I probably only Killed 6 or 7 with it and had no complaints. I won't say any of them are wonder caridges but I think some of the more modern cartridges are more efficient...

    Poll - One all around single cartridge under conditions

    If you reload you could load the ai down for practice. I like the idea of having a smaller cartridge around for practice. A .223 in the same configuration wouldn't be bad. My wife shoots a 280ai but she picked up a 6 arc this year and likes shooting it way more. I have a 7prc i don't shoot much...

    Poll - One all around single cartridge under conditions

    It would be a slight edge, with the slightly bigger diameter and heavier bullets if a blood trail required.. My 6.5cm has more kills than my 7-08 even though I'm more of a 7mm guy. All that said, I started using a .223 last year with no complaints. The wife is going from a 280ai to a 6arc this...

    Poll - One all around single cartridge under conditions

    I voted the 6.5cm due to ammo availability. With the listed cartridges and use described, the 6.5 or 7-08 would be fine. If you reload, or need a better blood trail, the 7-08 would have the edge. If you looking for less recoil, the 6arc might have a place and honestly, the 223.

    Best hunting pants for the wife?

    My wife, @Twobyfour , has been wearing Sitka for a couple of years and likes them, she has 1 trip with a pair of kuiu puffy pants that seemed to work well.
