What am I missing. You are concerned about 260 not available if you loose the ammo (true) but then you bring up an odd ball (by our standards) of a 7mm 08. Nothing against it, sound like an interesting round. Hand load only up here.

7mm 08 though is even less available. Big box stores carry anything standard.

Local stores will have 30-06, 270, 308.

I need to start dropping in and checking for better reference.

So, if you land in Anchorage, Juneau, Fairbanks to star with you can get any standard ammo.

Once on a small plane your ammo does not get lost.

I really thought i had my mind made up on 284 win. The one kicker is i am planning to go to Alaska in the fall and we will be flying. The game is deer and black bear. The only thing holding me back from the 284 is little to no factory ammo. Dont plan to use any but if my ammo was ever lost in travel it would be nice to stop and grab a box.

This is bringing me back to the 708. I thought about a magnum round but just dont have a lot of interest at this point.

The 708 ai sounds interesting as well. A little bump in performance as well as factory 708 ammo compatability.

What do you guys think? I would have to find a smith with a reamer or buy one. Would 260 ai dies with the correct bushing work for a sizing die?

I want to get this thing on order i just have a problem making decisions i guess.
