I had a Rem M700 KS Mt Rifle in 280 in the late 80's. I relaoded the Nosler 140gr Ballistic Tip over a max load of IMR 4350. It was an awesume combo.

270, 280, 30-06, Cant go wrong with any of them. They just work. Easy to reload for these too. Folks do not really need a big magnum to hunt with. I would choose any of these to hunt in the lower 48 anyday over a magnum! Magnum shooters have a good skill. I don't like the recoil. I think if I get to Alaska, I would take the '06.

The only real difference between the .280 and the .270 is the .280 can shoot 175gr bullets.  Both are necked down 30-06 cases.  One is .277 and one is .284.  .007 difference.  There is really no difference in velocity between the two, shooting the same bullet weights.  Anyone that says there is, is full of  :crap:

Actually the .280 is a little longer to the shoulder that the 30-06 so you can't chamber a .280 in a 30-06 or .270.
.270 & 30-06 base to shoulder =1.9480
.280 base to shoulder =1.9992
there was/is a cartridge that is 7mm-06 but not the .280
.280 is the same as the 7mmX64

Love my .280.

I would not have it chambered to be an ackley.

Mine is a Rem. 700 KS custom mountain rifle.  Rem. just discontinued this rifle this year :(

I've only shot factory ammo out of mine, and love what I've seen with the new Federal Premium trophy bonded tip in 160 grain.  I had tree boxes of the Hornady's light mag SST 139 gr. and didn't like them.

Someday when things quiet down a bit with me, I would love to start reloading and try the 140gr accubonds.
