The 280 remington never caught on. The case is not the same headspace as the 270 or 30-06 so that it can't be chambered in a 270 or made from them either.
You won't find ammo around.
It's lower pressure so it will work in the rem. auto.
You're an idiot but continue on.

Great, ain't he?
He can condense the first few paragraphs of almost every article ever written about the .280 into a few sentences. Just amazing.

Maybe it's been said here already but a 280 is to a 7-08 what a 30-06 is to a 308 For hunting purposes, those 4 cartridges circle the sweet spot of useful power, trajectory, and reasonable recoil. Combined with modern powders and hunting bullets only enhances that reality. Today is my eldest sons 8th birthday. When he gets ready for his first hunting rifle, I'll get him a 7mm-08 that we can reload for with my ample stockpile of 7mm Express bullets. Must protect my inventory of precious .280 brass. ;( Cheers

What?? A .280 Rem. can't be chambered in a .270 Win.? You learn something new every day. Thanks!! It's actually one of the brighter things Don has posted in the past dozen years.

That's funny. I do it all the time. PF76 : Curious about the steps & dies involved with that : 1 - Neck up .270 to .30 2 - Form a false shoulder .050 forward ie Neck down to 7mm 3 - fireform Could you elaborate on that please? Thx MD mentioned that .280 brass had become scarce, and it may be a good alternative until supplies of .280 are available. Cheers

Nothing induces a coma faster than a 280 vs 270 conversation. ..or rattles the dog's cage.

I tried a 280 on a whim back in 2003. Best choice of cartridges I ever made. Then I upgraded to a 280 AI last year. Either one sparks my fancy and has totally negated any true need for anything more.
I have owned nearly 20 since then. I kept my original and continued to trade up until I got what I wanted. I now own a Wby Mk V UL in 280 Remington & a Borden/Kampfeld in 280 AI.
I find it hard to hunt with anything else.
