Since the OP's question has been answered and we've gotten OT,I'll add my .02 worth.
To the OP:the .280 Remington is a great caliber.Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
As far as the round going obsolete:not hardly!
Hornady just put out 2 new loads,one being an all copper GMX.A company don't spend money on a has been.The .280 has a balanced selection of loads w/varied weights and premium bullets.
Though I don't yet reload,my manuals say the .280 is a great round for that purpose.It's not just bullet selection.Stronger actions can handle hotter loads.Weaker actions may no longer be in consideration.You may not find .280 ammo just anywhere,but it's not too difficult to find.This round still has a bright future.
