ousoonerfan22 Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 Re: 280 ? Aren't the 280's very similar to the 270 but with a little heavier bullet?What does federal premium have in the 280? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 Re: 280 ? Treat it just like the .270 Winchester or the .30-06 Springfield. Its the happy medium between the two. I have a write up on it in the Cartridge of the Week thread. You can get factory ammo from Winchester, Remington, Hornady, and Federal. Each offer a 139 or 140 gr load, and Remington and Federal offer 150 and 160 gr loads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
