Thank you. My leaning's towards the .280, but there's nothing other then good about the 7mm-08, and the final purchase will probably be made on price.

In browsing around on cheaperthendirt, just to see, I found .280 in loads that went up to 140gr at 3000 FPS and 150gr+ to 2800+. This may not be hot but they both looked a bit warm, to this novice's eye. There may have been others that I didn't notice that are even heavier (eep). Hornady, Federal and Remington were all available.

Is there any consensus as to whose brass makes the nicest starting point for a reloader? I've read that .30-06 cases can be reshaped for .280 use, and at least one TFL poster said specifically that doing so is impossible. I'd rather not start reloading by reshaping brass more then I need to do. Is there one manufacturer of .280 ammo whose brass seems nicer, in this chambering, then the others?
