Description
.280 Remington 150 grain Berger Classic Hunter- The .280 Remington is a rifle caliber introduced by the Remington Arms Company in 1957. It was developed as part of an effort to create a more effective military cartridge for the U.S. Army’s NATO-standard rifle. Its design was intended to be a compromise between the smaller, lighter 7.62×51mm NATO and the more powerful .30-06 Springfield, offering better performance in terms of recoil, accuracy, and range.
Although it was initially considered as a potential replacement for the .30-06 in military applications, the U.S. Army ultimately chose the 7.62×51mm NATO, leaving the .280 Remington to remain a civilian round. Despite its lack of widespread military adoption, the .280 Remington gained a loyal following among hunters and sports shooters for its versatility, providing good performance for medium to large game, such as deer and elk. Its relatively low recoil makes it easier to handle, especially for hunters seeking a powerful, yet manageable caliber.
The .280 Remington has also seen use in hunting rifles and bolt-action rifles, with some variants like the .280 Ackley Improved offering enhanced ballistics. While not as widely recognized as other calibers, it remains a respected choice in the hunting and shooting communities due to its optimal balance of power and recoil.

The Bullet:
Berger Classic Hunter Rifle Bullets utilize their industry-leading hybrid ogive, which blends tangent and secant designs to optimize efficiency, reduce wind-drift, and minimize sensitivity to seating depth. The Classic Hunter Rifle Bullets are designed for magazine usage and can easily conform to SAAMI dimensions while reloading. Great for factory rifle applications where quick follow-up shots are a must. Classic Hunters utilize a thinner J4 Precision Jacket for rapid expansion on game animals. Classic Hunters are designed to penetrate 2-3″ into the vitals and then begin to expand and create a massive wound cavity up to 15″. This delivers maximum organ/tissue damage and extreme hydrostatic shock aiding in an ethical kill.
