Looking for suggestions.....time to rechamber

If you're ruling out factory chamberings, then my one vote goes to 7x57AI...

Stick with the 280, if you want something different 280AI. I've owned both the 280 and 338-06, if you have both you can shoot most anything you want. If it's just small deer, 280 wins hands down (but the 280AI would be sweet)

Personally, I would rebarrel it as a .280 Rem. and call it good. If you really want a non-factory chambering I would go with the .280 RCBS instead of the .280 AI. My other choice would be the .338-06.
