Swampcollie....the .280 wasen't called the 7mm Express till 1979...

I think they should of kept that name permanent though. It sounds cooler.
Ahhh you old master you! Hell I never knew that! I thought they changed it because of some sort of soup up job they did on speed without exceeding pressure specs..... I think I remember someone telling me that they wanted to use it in the pump and auto line Remington was putting out at the time???
That article on Allen (which I had never read... but I had heard of him) was quite an interesting read. Pretty dang impressive really...
