Good article.
I believe that I read this article back in the day before getting my first 280 Rem, along with a number of other articles.
Has long been a favourite cartridge of mine, along with being the first I learned to handload for.

The 280 is my favorite. Ive had my 280 Rem for 31 yrs and have killed a dump truck load of deer with it. Mine will shoot just about anything you feed it.

Hard not to love the 280, if harvesting game is your goal for a firearm.
I love reading stuff by Jim Carmichel on the 280 Remington. One of my favorite articles by him is about his trusty pre-64 Clayton Nelson rifle that he used on just about everything, especially the part where he shot a distant crow from a yurt after being snowed in for a couple of days and the guides sulking for the remainder of the hunt. He’s a certified rifle looney with a great story telling ability.

I’ve always enjoyed reading Jim Carmichael articles and especially his writings about the 280 Remington. When Remington announced offering the 280 Remington in the 700 Classic I bought one and started learning what a fantastic cartridge it is, especially when properly loaded.
