AJ Posted November 10, 2004 Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 Welcome to the Realtree forums. A little more info is needed. What exactly does your barrel say? Does it say 7mm Remington Magnum or 7mm Remington Express. Since you said it is a new gun, its probably not the 7mm Rem Express. You can not fire 280 Remington ammo in a 7mm Remington Magnum. They are not the same cartridge. You will rupture the case and probably do significant damage to the gun, and maybe yourself. You can use the 280 Remington in an older 7mm Rem Express. Remington changed the name from 7mm rem Express to .280 Rem to help eliminate some confusion between the Express and Magnum. If your gun kicks too much trade it for a smaller caliber gun.
