Do you think the .280 would be a more poplular if big green would have called it the 7mm06?

They tried calling it the 7mm Remington Express for a while. Went over like a lead balloon.

Sometime in the 70's Remington stamped 7mm06 on the cases. Like I said it was very limited run.

NO, it would have been more popular if they had loaded the round to it's full pressure potential & marketed it as a bolt action round instead of a semi auto round. The .280 is everything the .270 should have been. Wink moon

I thought the 256 Newton was everything the 270 Winchester should have been. The 280 Remington was everything the 7x64mm already was...
