I’ve never really looked at that cartridge before but I see where it has several benefits to it,

Decent amount of reloading data available.
Good factory brass available,
Good selection of bullets from several manufacturers,
Uses moderate amounts of common powders, H4350. IMR 4350. Etc…

Looks like we could hit about 3000 fps with a 24 inch barrel and a 150 grain bullet?

I believe 1-8 twist barrel is what we talked about

Any other cartridge I might be looking at?

If you own/owned one, tell about it’s like and dislikes.

Build a .280 Rem and go hunting.
