RE: .280 Rem or AI?
If you are going to reload, you might just as well go with the 280 AI or the 7x64 Brenneke. The Brenneke predates the .270 win by a few years and the .280 by 40 years. The cartridge is one of the most popular in Europe. Apparently, many european nations don't/didn't allow civilian ownership of military cartridges or firearms based on them.Wilhelm Brenneke took the outstanding 7x57 mauser and lengthened the case to 64mm, thus the 7x64. It is a keeper, there are a few Rugers on Gunsamerica etc (but are overpriced). Sako and other still manufacture rifles for that cartridge.
Good luck, CE
