Description
.280 caliber Remington 145 Grain Barnes LRX (lead free)~Ā TheĀ .280 Remington, also known as the 7mm-06 Remington andĀ 7mm Express Remington, was introduced in 1957 for several Remington models.Ā The .280 is based on theĀ .30-06Ā necked downĀ to accept 7Ā mm bullets, with the neck moved forward .050 in (1.27mm). The neck was deliberately moved forward to prevent chambering in aĀ .270 WinchesterĀ rifle, as firing a .280 round in a .270 rifle could cause the projectile to get stuck in the barrel or rupture the barrel due to excessive pressure.Ā The .280 Remington is capable of generating slightly higher velocities with a given bullet weight than the .270 Winchester, and also able to use heavier bullets due to the larger .284ā³ diameter. .284ā³ bullets also have higher ballistic coefficients at the top of the weight spectrum than .277ā³ bullets. The greater energy and higherĀ ballistic coefficientĀ of heavier .284ā³ bullets give the .280 Remington a slight ballistic advantage over the .270 Winchester.
