The information below comes from our Gun Caliber Dictionary and is for
general reference only. It does not describe the specifications of this
particular item.
The 280 Remington is a 7mm (.284-inch bullet) created by necking down the .30-06 case. Wildcatted for decades, it was introduced by Remington in 1957. Initial loads, intended for use in Remington's slide-action and semiautomatic rifles, were mild, which slowed the cartridge's acceptance. This has long been fixed, with current loads including a 140-grain bullet at 3000 feet per second and 150-grain bullet at 2890. The 280 is still not nearly as popular as the 270 Winchester or 30-06, but it has an extremely loyal following, including bulletmaker Steve Hornady and gunwriter Jim Carmichel. It is an ideal cartridge for deer and mountain game, very adequate for elk, and has been described as "the best cartridge based on the 30-06 case." Ammunition is available from most suppliers, and it is chambered by numerous rifle manufacturers.
