We need to tell the 270-defunct animals all about this. I'm sure it'll make them feel better. The 280 Remington is overbore. The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

Is nosler brass not a big deal to most of you? I just really like norma and lapua brass. Scenarshooter....Are you saying that the nosler 280AI brass is actually made by Norma? If so, that is awesome.

Bob, if stuff died in front of a .270 it must have been some kind of anomaly...Ive never personally heard of it happening, but theres always that chance..

Maybe someone's making 7# 7mags somewhere, but I've never seen one. Montana 7WSM will go 7# done. If an 8# rig is whats on the table, might as well fill the chamber to the top I say, and keep it simple. I don't see an 8# 280 as worth the effort. If I were after 7#, then yes to the 280. Remmie's box and throat in 7RM is perfect as far as I'm concerned.
