.280 Remington Ballistics
History, Details, Ballistics, and Drop for the .280 Remington

The .280 Remington was designed in 1957 by Remington Arms Company for the 700 series rifles. The parent case is a .30-06 Springfield, and is narrowed down to fit the .284 inch (7.2mm) bullet. The semi- automatic 740 was the first rifle Remington used for the .280 factory loads with a psi of 48,000 to 50,000 for 150 grain bullets. The ballistic performances based off five grain types for velocity are 3,112 ft/s (120 gr), 2,839 ft/s (140 gr), 2,825 ft/s (154 gr), 2,723 ft/s (168 gr), 2,681 ft/s (175 gr).
Remington changed the powder charge of the .280 factory load in 1979 and re-named the .280 Remington to the 7mm Express Remington. After some confusion on the market they reversed the name change back to the .280 Remington. The factory loads consist of 140-150 grain cartridges that are best suited for medium sized game.
The .280 factory loads can be used on medium sized game up to 250 yards before a noticeable drop in wound penetration occurs. Hand loading .280 brass can reach 3,100 ft/s (140 gr), 3,000 ft/s (150 gr). They can be suited to lower powder use for varmint hunting, or custom fit on a 26 inch barrel for maximum velocity in hunting medium sized game. Hand loading rounds can reach upwards of 375 yards before a noticeable drop off in wound penetration occurs.

My last train was at 247, almost 40 posts ago, so.....
The one, the only E636 with a rebuilt modern front end after an accident, number 284!
Sorry, but it is preserved now, so is well known in it's native Italy (with enthusiasts anyway).
Refer to '243' (E636.243, also preserved) to see what it would have been like originally (post 415 on page 28). I'm not sure what looks worse, but I have always liked them because they look so odd (although the original design is now almost 80 years old, so it has an excuse):
