IMO the 280 is NOT that diff from the 270 W.
Ammo ( I know you are a handloader ) is much more available for the 270. That also makes brass easily obtained.
I have a T 3X Lite SS in 7mm RM, it's only 3 or 6 oz heavier than my T 3 Lite SS 270. >> I'd go that route instead of a 280 AI. Lots of plusses for the 7 RM.
I think you have a 7 or had one (?)
OTOH lots of guy go the custom or semi custom route so that might be your cup o tea.
Good Luck
