    I know in theory it cant happen but ive seen a shooter fire a 308 round in a 25-06 - that in theory shouldn't have gone off but it did.
    The visual differences and the straight case body should stop it happening.
    Just something to think about.
    Isnt that the other way around? You could get the 2506 in the 280? 280 wouldn't be able to be chambered as its longer than a 270 and has a bigger neck.
    308 in 25 I get as its pretty much the same case but shorter and the fatter calibre. Wouldn't be good
