Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters why is 7mm08 more popular than 280 Remington?

Remington did have some success in re-introducing the 280 Rem after the 7mmExpress VS the .280 barrel stampings on the 700BDL model. For the first year following the 700 Mountain Rifle introduction in I988 the .280 Rem chambering outsold the .270 and 30-96. Remington introduced a 3,000 FPS 140 gr grain bullet factory load at higher pressure which helped.
