I have the Donelly book, and that is what he shows to make the 280 Dubiel. Sorry to add to the confusion. Its not helping!


As long as I'm waiting for my Cerrosafe to arrive, we might as well discuss the interesting details of the 280 Dubiel Cartridge, since so little is known about this long ago Super 7mm.

Here is another early reference to the 280 Dubiel. This drawing shows the 280 Dubiel Magnum as made by the Neidner Rifle Corporation. It also lists the case length at 2.870 inches.
