I have a .280 Remington in a Winchester model 70 featherweight, nice rifle ! Tack driver and I really don’t think the recoils is bad at all , it’s very manageable. I sold my 30-06 and .300 WSM and 7mm REM Mag ( don’t need the big magnums anymore) the .280 takes care of business from antelope to elk all the way out to 500 yards no problem.
Yeah man! It's a very good round! I wouldn't sell any of my other calibers just in case you can't find ammo for the 280.
@@steadfastcourage3057 I still have two .308 Winchester rifles and a .243 , a .44 mag Henry lever carbine , .22 WMR and .22lr plus a Dan Wesson Bruin 10mm all just for hunting . We won’t talk about my other guns lol 😂
I have a Ruger M77 in 280 and its my favorite rifle. Ive taken plenty of whitetail and blackbear with it. I love its flexibilty to be able to load down for varmits to Elk and eveything in between. But your right. getting ammo for it is getting harder.
280 in my opinion is the perfect all around cartridge . It's a 7mm Mag without the recoil. It's a 7mm'08 with more power. It's a flatter shooting 30-06 with less recoil, and so on and so on!
280 Rem beats 270 everywhere except walking into any hardware store and grabbing shells.
No kidding!
Underrated comment
I have been in love with the .280 since 1995. It is a tremendous cartridge. I have been paying close to $50 a box for years.
It's a very great caliber and I like a lot as will.
If you can find them.
Im a Ojibwe Native American from Minnesota. I had a Remington 700 .270 cal and l switch to Remington .280 cal. The .280 cartridge was designed for deer. Best cartridge l have ever used. Every deer l have ever shot has dropped in its track. Thanks for sharing your experience with this cartridge. My forever rifle is the Remington 700 .280 caliber , most accurate rifle l have used. It has put a lot of venison on the table and fed our elders. MEGWITCH!
Barrel length?
I have been shooting a 280 since 1991 out of a Ruger M77. Taken a lot of deer with it, 2 of them at 400+yds. It’s my absolute favorite caliber.
Woah that is Amazing! I'm glad to hear that this round is killing it!
I have the Ruger M77 in 380 that I got as a present from my Dad and Brother in 1988. Still is my favorite hunting rifle due to the variety of loads it can shoot.
280 IS the best all around cartridge. From varmints to big game . When loaded to equal pressure of 30-06 and 270 it beats them both. It is close to the 7mm magnum. More efficient . About maximum case capacity for bore size. Manageable recoil. A reloders dream compare to magnums. Can't say enough good about the 280. It's down side is that it is not common. Loaded with a 160gr bullet and you can hunt the world over except for the thick skin dangerous game.
Hell yeah man! It's a damn good round! I personal like it a lot!
Yup......reminds me of 35 remington for short range.....just perfect except availability.
impressed me young man . never shot at that range and I've been shooting my .280 for more than 30 years
Thank you! I was impressed with it as will.
I got gifted my .280 Remington when I turned 12 and have used it yearly ever since.
You got a .280 Remington for your birthday! Some one loves you!
I have a .280 in a Ruger M77 and it's easily my favorite rifle to shoot. Killed many northern Minnesota deer with it over the years and never lost a deer as long as I do my part. From 25 to 300 yards it's the perfect gun for me.
That's awesome! I'm glad to hear that this rifle has serviced you very will. Hell yeah!
My Tikka .280 is my favorite whitetail, antelope and muley rifle. Its a tack driver out to 500 yards and has the knock down power. Love that Rifle and cartridge.
She sure does have the take down power and she doesn't kick as much as the 270.
My favorite all around rifle cartridge.
Really! You a great tested in weaponry.
Enjoyed watching you shoot that 280. Brings back fond memories of living in Chinle AZ in the early 1970s. Ya ta hay!
If you are ever in the Fort Gordon/Augusta, Ga area please let me know and we'll go out to the ranges over here. We'll see if we can't get you in contact with the 1K target at the Ft. Gordon.
Whao! Georgia is pretty far out! Especially for me! But that would be pretty sweet if I could go there and take you up on your offer.
The 7mm calibre is straight up a damn good time. I just got a xbolt in 280AI and it's fantastic.
It's sure is a great round! I would rather have 280 Remington over 6.5 Creedmoor.
Well I'm impressed. I've never even tried to hit anything at that range.
Yeah man! I was surprised myself that I actually hit the target at that distance.
I have a custom Remington 700 in .280 with a Hart barrel built by Seely Masker…awesome cartridge and rifle…
That sounds pretty cool man! Very cool!
I got my Sako 75 Hunter in .280 rem almost 15 years ago. I can say it has my first choice for whitetail & mule deer. I reload my ammo following the Sierra manual on the high end of the recipe. You use the same weight projectile as I do. Great choice. 👍 Impressive long shots 😉
Dude I need to start reloading myself! I'm you have great taste my friend! And thanks, I'm working on another long distance shooting video! I'm working with the 6.5 Creedmoor. Look fronted to that in the coming week.
I have a Smith Custom Guns 280 Remington, since 1999. Two favorite loads of mine shoot half inch groups, and it does not kick me at all!
Yeah it's a pretty sweet round!
Bring the target closer dude. The 280 Rem is an awesome cartridge but a target at 700m would be hard to hit with anything.
That's the challenge isn't it. if you use this caliber for hunting. You can't always get closer to that animal.
I 1st read about the .280 back in junior high, 1967 . The article in one of the premier hunting magazine said it would surpass the 30-06 Springfield for popularity . It hasn't done so, but, I still have one . Same length case as the .270 Winchester and the 30-06 Springfield . Shoots 140 grain bullet . A real deer killer.
Yeah it has a long history of not getting the press that it deserve. But I'm hoping that I can change that. I can use this platform to spread the word of the .280 Remington. I not done with the .280 Remington yet. thrust me!
Unfortunately Remington dealt the .280 a bad hand ant conception. They under loaded the cartridge so it could be used in their auto and pump action rifles. By doing so people were unimpressed by the caliber. Then they remade it naming it the 7mm Remington Express. Surprise it didn't work. When they changed the name back to .280 Remington noone cared. Especially since the .270 Winchester out preforms it in low weights. The .280 really stats to shine at 150-162 Grains for bullet weight. That's where it out does it's main competition.
280 or 3006 best all round gun. 3006 has the edge more heavier bullet option, that take brown bear. Any thing in North america. Excellent calibers.
I don't know about the 30-06, I have never got my hands on the 30-06 but I'll get to that round eventually. But the 280 is pretty sweet.
280 is an 3006 necked down from an 30 caliber to 7mm. Can't go wrong with either
175gr Nosler partition is purty bad ass. If I need more killing power than a 280 , a 375 H&H would be the next step up. I don't know if the killing power could be detected between a 280 and 30-06.
Be proud to be able to put 20 rounds through that gun. I have a styer .280 and have tried twice to put more than 2 round through it. I’ve since bought a recoil pad for it. I’m happy to shoot it now.
I know what you are talking about. I will eventually get to weapons that are going to kill my shoulder. Subscribe and stay tuned for those videos.
@@steadfastcourage3057 got a red stag with my 280 yesterday. He went no where a very clean shot at 80mtrs. Shot exited the stag but I still managed to find a couple of fragments of projectile at exit point.
Getting Off The Tar, I have a Remington Model 700, and I have killed a rare Black Blazed 8 pointer, trophy Antelope,, and a nice Buck, the gun does kick some, but in my opinion not that bad, on deer hunts I put two rounds through it and it is great fun. On the range, you need to sight it in on a few shots, on many shoots the barrel can get hot on a 280, the gun was recommended to me by two men that I knew who killed the most deer. Would I want a recoil pad?
I think I will leave it stock as is.
@@gettingoffthetar7826 Killed a rare Black Blaze Deer with my Remington Model 700 280, great gun. It had 8 points,
I have a Remington 700 Classic in 280 Rem. I love it!
Great looking rifle. I’ve always thought highly of the 280 Remington and watch out mulies and speed goats.
Yes the .280 Remington is a really sweet caliber. I'm planning on doing a comparison of 270 and .280 in a future video.
@@steadfastcourage3057 That’ll be a fun comparison!
I've never heard of a speed goat but this is the second time they're mentioned in videos this week
@@riclindsey329 It’s a nickname for pronghorn, or more commonly called, antelope. They are called speed goats since they can run over 50 mph and resemble goats. Here’s a video on the subject. ua-cam.com/video/BMWcy-Q1qT4/v-deo.html
Shoot the same round 280 rem, my favourite deer round by far. Easy on the shoulder and man it does the job on Saskatchewan whitetails, flat shooting hard hitting perfect for the open flats and the bush. Ruger M77 Hawkeye 280 rem stainless synthetic model.
It's a very good round! I like it a lot! I'm planning on making another video about the 280. Remington.
Can’t wait too see it :) happy shooting.
I have my dad's reminton .280. I plan to take it elk hunting this year. Gotta learn the ballistics of this thing.
Learning ballistic of your caliber is very important and expensive.
Tell us more about your rifle. I have a BSA rifle that looks just like it. 280 is a great caliber, way up on the top of my favorite list.
I'll do that in a future video. When ever I make a new video.
holds breath 🫁 great video $$$ ammo I know bro
foo sho
Check the nosler manual #4, 160g at 2930 fps, IMR 7828, and Federal 210 primer critical for bug hole accuracy! Ours are Rem 700's! Later on, they down loaded the data due to auto's and pumps!
Nosler full metal jacket is pretty sweet! I'm working on a new 280. Remington video. I'm running into funding problems because what I want to do is quite pricey.
At least you're getting out there and trying 700 yrds, nice going. I've been looking into .280 Ackley Improved a lighter rifle than the 7mm Rem Mag with impressive numbers but not a lot of factory ammo. The .280 Ackley Improved specs better wind drift ability with a slightly heavier bullet (above 160gr) than the .280 Rem. Still, all cartridges perform well above my shooting ability. Again, nice going. Note: "Big Game Hunting Bog" youtube vid: '270 vs 280 vs 280 Ackley Improved vs 7mm Rem Mag' gives an excellent analysis of performance characteristics.
I've seen the .280 Ackley and I was very interested in buying a rifle that takes the .280 Ackley to try it out. And thanks man! I've been wanting to take the .280 Remington out to 1000 meters. But I need a new high dollar scope for my rifle to make it easier for that shot.
1 once owned Remington 7mm Remington Express (280).. Best rifle I ever owned. Had to sell it for financials hardships. Been kicking myself ever since.
Well you know you got to do what you have to sometimes. We hope your doing better now days. I
I'm selling a sporterized FN 1953 Belgian Mauser action with a Ashton .280 Remington barrel, stock is high relief oak leaf carved beautiful rifle, comes with a 6 x 59 German PECAR scope. Let me know if your interested
it's a shame that all of us .280 shooters only have one choice of factory ammo. Remington!! I use to reload, but sold all my equipment, now I wish I would not have done that. My rifle is a lightweight 'mountain' rifle, weighting in just under 7lbs. I mounted a Burris scope on it and everything I have shot with it, and hit, went down right there.
I've owned 7mm-08, .280, .308 and .270 over 40 years of hunting. I cant tell a lick of difference between the 4 on deer. I bet there isnt 3-4 inches of drop between them all at 400 yards. I can tell the differences in bullet construction and bullet weight.
Good choice 7mm express flat shooting great take down
It is a great round! I highly recommend it any hunter.

@@zakattack467 look it up verify. I believe I own one in the Browning x bolt 280 Rem have an odd marketing history
270, 280, and 30 06 basically the same, they all get the job done, if you don't believe me ask any dead deer.
I know right!
I've had min in 700 CDL since 1984. Love it, but ammo is getting really hard to find.
That's awesome! Glad to hear that it's has been killing it since 1984! Freaking Awesome!
Get into reloading! It’s a lot of fun and You’ll be surprised how much money you’ll save. Fantastic shooting! Just keep practicing.
That's what I was thinking of doing. It is a good idea. Especially for the 280.
Do you have a favorite "Pet" load that use for hunting deer? Im getting into reloading now and any advice is appreciated.
I love this cartridge!! I also use the exact Winchester load . Problem is I literally can’t find any ammo for the last two years and I have looked hard nationwide and even emailed Winchester. No luck!!! Any suggestions??
The only thing that I can think of is start reloading the 280. That's the only thing that I can think or just wait until they start producing ammo again.
Yo tongue daddy your videos are getting better this was recommended on my feed.
Hell yeah! That's fucking awesome!

@@steadfastcourage3057 we need a .280 club.... because only a true owner knows how effective the sleeper caliber really is. It's not even fair... to the competition. 🤣
@@mowens-79 That's not a bad idea my friend! 🤔 That's not a bad idea at all!
If I shoot 5 rds, I will have bruises. 20 rds you the man. Compare Winchester silver tips 140 gr 280 Remington and Remington 7mm magnum ballistics. You'll see why it kicks so hard. Ammo around $70 a box last I checked.
Thanks man! Thank you! 70 bucks a box! That's ridiculous! I would have to get me a rifle that takes the Remington 7mm. Now that's a specialty item!
Recoil makes me consider 7mm-08. Of course I love the 280 Remington. However, my barrel is stamped 7mm Express Remington. Cheers!
@@ammo1jc No kidding! That's very misleading.
Remington had 280 Remington due to the popularity of 7mm magnum, renamed 280 to 7mm express Remington. Confusion with 7mm express and 7mm magnum, Remington changed it back yo 280 Remington. I have one of the few 7mm Express Remingtons out there. The unjust bad reputation of the 280/7mm Express , I purchased my 700 BDL for $335 and a scope thrown in to get rid if it. My cousin went a few days later and bought the last one they had at the time. Only 2 problems with the 280. 1. It kicks like a mule. 2. I've only seen ammo in 1 store. Online best way to aquire ammo. I just found Remington ammo for $2.50 per round. Others $5.05 a round. Cheers! 7mm Express Remington exactly what I wanted and I still do.
@@ammo1jc Oh yes! I remember now! That was the case back in the day! The 280. Remington was a renamed! I remember now! It doesn't kick that bad. Yeah ammo is really hard to find. That's why I haven't made a video in a while.
Like it! Miss the Scenery! Cheers from Wisconsin!
Yeah I know the feeling! Cheers from Arizona!
I just put a stainless ruger m77 mk II on layaway at a local pawnshop. Only $600, because no one wants the caliber.

280 was Remingtons weak attempt to make a cartridge that would complete with the 270 win. I will stick with my 270.
I've hear that about the .280 Remington.
Buy both shoot both 270 win for deer 280 Rem for elk. A few old school trust and prefer 280 or 280 AI. It kick less than 30-06 shooter is a bit dramatic
@@1911geek I will eventually get to the 270 and 30-06. I will also make another video with the 280 Remington.
Well 280 Rem and 280 AI was the intent of 7mm quality only second to 7mm Mag but less recoil chamber in a long action less bulk than 7mm mag and 300 Win Mag it's an excellent round according to my data fast furious fast take down and expansion of course bullet placement is always in question. 280 takes care of business
Nothing wrong with the 270 . I like it with the 130gr bullet and it's great accuracy. Would not trade a good shooting 270 for a 280 but if I was to buy just one rifle it would be a 280 just because it is a tad better. I would say the same about a good shooting 30-06.
why are you dressed in Military garb??
Because OCP's are really good camouflaging. Why buy different camouflage when my issued OCP's works really good.
I wanted to ask the same question. Being an Air Force guy myself, we have very specific instructions on when, where and for how long we may wear our uniforms. I'm sure the army is the same way. I don't know the army regs, so I guess I was just wondering.
So what kinda rifle you got? is it medium weight barrel? do you reload? I'd like to find one and shoot with Trail Boss powder ,& get it tamed as a 7-08
It's a Flaig Custom Mauser. It is a medium weight barrel. I don't reload yet. I
need to learn how reload ammo. I want to reload special cartridges like this because it's a pain in the balls to find ammo. Trail boss powder! and 7-08. That's interesting! I would like to try Trail powder. 🤔
