Thanks for the replies so far. I reload because I Dont have the time and dont really want to make the time to make sure i reload everything right, rather pay someone to do it for me.The 280 is loaded on the light side for the semi autos still using this cal. I have heard the why didnt you buy a 7mm or 270 and part of it is because i really like what the 280 can do with a good load and i like that its not the same cartridge as everybody and their mom has. Plus a 280 load right will leave a 270 in the dust and make the 7mm work for its money if those are both loaded well. Anyways yeah just looking for reputable companies to reload for me. Thanks again for the help
I have always wanted a .280 too, just for that reason. In fact, I wanted a 7mm Express, they should have kept the name... Just wondering if I missed a practical reason.

Thanks again for the helpThe practical reason I think, is that the 280 doesn't kick as much as the 7 mag. And velocities are good enough to be flat enough shooting for most people out there. The cartridge I'm really intrigued by is the 280 AI. It is a very efficient cartridge.........almost 7 mag velocities with recoil very manageable. I think I'll have to get one someday.
7 mag uses more powder so it kicks more than the .280 Rem or 280 ackley improved. If you had 3 rifles of the same model and weight, all shooting the same bullet weight.............one in 7 mm rem mag, one in .280 Ackley Improv, and one in .280 Rem, the recoil would be highest in the 7 mm mag, next would be the Ackley and then the .280 Rem because theoretically the mag would have more powder than the AI and the AI would be loaded with more powder than the standard 280. It's just physics.I hope the OP doesn't mind a little thread jacking.......
