Default RE: Why not .280 Remington?

Hi Aimiable:

You can buy the Sako in 7x64 Brenneke, which the .280 duplicates. I believe the 7x64 Brenneke predates the .280 by fifty years. The Speer Manualsstate thereloading data is interchangeable. The 7x64 is one of the most popular rounds in Europe (no military cartridges available to the public, eg .30-06, .308, .223, 7x57 etc).

I purchased one about a year ago (Sako AV) and just found one in the fiberclass model that I would like to purchase. I have been using the 156 gr Oryx and it has become my go-to gun for coyotes. It is a great round for those yotes and probably goats as well.
