Thread: .280- thoughts

280 is all good. A very capable case, that will push a variety of weight projectiles to very usable speeds with out drama.

And I reckon the AI version looks sexy as.

I'll end up with another one at some stage no doubt.

My only though about the 280, is that I want one. They seem like they would be a pretty versatile calibre.

Whats going to be the difference with 22-24in barrel ?

100 odd fps.

Debatable. May be more may be less but the deer wont be any more alive because of it.

That's why I said "100 odd". Depends on a lot of things.
You're right about the deer. I'm sure they won't notice the difference.

Just tell them it"s a 7.06 x 64.

That's alright I saw a nice t3 708

Go for a 7x64, virtually the same thing but you get to say "Brenneke" when you talk about it, which is far more interesting than Remington!
