When I was reloading for my 280, I could bring it up to few hundred feet if the 7mag. It was/is a pleasure to shoot. And it wont knock the wax out of your ears.280 Remington. It had a goofy start in semi-autos. It was loaded a little light for longevity, bit the same rifle was also chambered in 270. Makes no sense. Then it was loaded hotter as the 7mm Remington Express, but people who can't read would mistake it for 7mm Remington Magnum. So, it was renamed 280 and loaded the way it should have. Similar velocities as the 270 with a wider variety of bullets. A little less recoil and higher BCs than the 30-06 if that really matters. Just a great cartridge.
