Shato, my comments were based on my experiences with the .280 rem. Factory loads here are anything but vast, theUS internet sites are not an option for a canadian and my shoulder doesn't like my partners abolt as much as it likes my rem 700. Again I disclaimed fit being the main reason for the noticed recoil with his abolt.

It is just my opinion but I felt it had some value to the posed question about the .280 rem. I like it as a handloader but OTC ammo not as much as others capable of the same.

I said it before I wouldn'tbuy a 280rem over a 7mm rem mag, see no benefitin doing so. To each their own though
