I can't explain that, either! Thanks for finding the current spec for the .280 Rem. I confess that I had not looked it up and it may well have changed - or what I'd been told about it was never true in the first place.
We might make the same observation about the Savage 99, which is now chambered in .308 Win. If it can take that (which it presumably does) then why was the 250 held down? If it isn't due to better metals technology for newer rifles, it beats me, brother.
