I may be thinking of something else, but I thought the 280 was based on the 06 case with a different shoulder. In any event I am not familiar with the 338/280. Is there any advantage over the 338-06?

The 280 Remington case is .046" longer than the 30/06 from the end of the neck to the case head. The case body is .051" longer than the 30/06 case body from the shoulder to the case head.

There is nothing suspect about the 338/06. I have access to an Ackley Improved reamer, to get it I have to have a good excuse to visit my resource people, one is concerned about loosing 3 rifles he built 40 years ago, I suggested he give me an address. Round trip will be 180 miles.
