Easier to ask for Forgiveness then for Permission !
LOL RJ
Yea ! That's why i am contemplating having my 7-08 T3X rechambered ! It will work out Well for a 3.00 plus cartridge lenght as i have the long bolt stop in it and long mags already ! BUT i already have a Beauty M600 /M7 Rifle in 284 ! RJ
Which is which?
I see the 280 as sandals and thus the better, more practical choice.
The 280 in a 700 leaves lots of extra room in the box whereas the 284 soon jams up in OAL in a short action. Probably can't get brass for either these days, but the 280 is easy to form from a couple cousins.

What does the 7x57 have over a 280? At least the 284 will fit in a short action and it also does well in F-Class in a standard length action but you already know that.

I have a 7x57 and a 280. The latter gives me a few more FPS, but I prefer the 7x57 for no reason that makes sense.

I have somehow accumulated a silly number of 7mm rifles in 7 WSM, 7 RSAUM, 7mm-08, 7X57, 7X64, .280 and a current 7mm project rifle that is so silly I will not discuss it for fear of ridicule. I also just sold a .284 rifle. If I was forced to live with only one, it would probably be the 7X64, although the 7X57 would do just as well.
I have owned a couple of 284 chambered rifles, plus a custom in 6.5/284.
They do exactly what you would expect them to do. Kill game efficiently.
Washed the throat in the 6.5/284 in 1800 rounds,so not really bad, IMHO.
These days I'm happy with my 2 - 7x57's [700 Classic & Ruger #1AB]
Plus an older 700 in 7mm Rem Mag.

I've shot a small number of moose with a 35 Whelen, 375magnum, 308 and used a 7x57 for the same on 2020. They all died about the same.
The next time I get to go, I will be taking a 300H&H. Maybe that one will work better.

the reason John nosler created the partition: you will be in good hand with the 300hh and moose, Paul.
