You can get more powder in the Express case than the .280 case.
So it's got to be faster. The 7-06 that Dober brought up will hold more than the Express.
So maybe it's the best?
Close. I beleive the story was that SAAMI specs allowed the Express to run at higher pressures--to high for Remington's autoloaders. Remington reintroduced the Express as the 280 with lower SAAMI pressures offered in their auto loading rifles. GB

I'm thinking you would have received more response if this was posted in the correct forum - this question definitely belongs in "Ask the Gunwriters"...

What about a .280 Whelen? That would be a far superior cartridge to either in the same package.
DOH ! ! !

The 280, for sure....because Remington never chambered their Mountain rifles in Express. I sure wish I had bought the ADL Express I saw many moons ago in a local store though.

fish head Damn. Beat me to it by two posts. The 280 Whelen beats both the 280 Rem and 7mm Express Rem due to 'capacity.' Not sure which 'capacity' but I know it's betterer. A guy I know has a 280 Whelen AI. Now there's a real rifle cartridge, by golly! -

7mm Express AI beats them all.
The express brass has a special Venturi chamber in the neck.

Some get the jokes, but I fear some think there is a physical difference between the .280 and the 7mm Express cases. I think it was pretty funny.. . Dennis

well, it is kinda funny but, on a more serious note: can you use 7mm bullets in the .280, or do you have to swage 'em down .004"?

7x64 = 448, which is a lot more than 280.

.280 Remington shoots .284 diameter bullets, just like the 7x57 Mauser, .284 Winchester, 7mm Remington Mag, etc. I'm saying this on the assumption that it's a real question... . Dennis

Would I ask anything but a real question on a thread titled as it is?

I rebarreled all my 7mm Express rifles to 280 Remington when ammo for the 7mm Express became too hard to find. I honestly can't see much difference, but I like the silver cases with black bullets. Last year my buddy shot his elk with his 280 Remington, using Winchester ammo and the bullet did OK, but the jacket went clear through the elk without the lead part. I told him he's just asking for problems like that when he mismatches ammo and gun brands. He's looking for someone with a 280 Winchester, to sell them some ammo cheap...19 rounds. Hope this helps.
