.280 Rem

I don’t understand why more rifles aren’t chambered in it. Fortunately brass has still been easily available for me.

270, 280AI

Weird. The one I bought a year ago isn’t dead.

It's a slow death. The 280 is a good cartridge but it's being pushed from the trough by the 270 and other higher performing 28 caliber cartridges.

If it was going to be pushed out by the .270, it would have long ago. Remington screwed the pooch on marketing the fantastic round. The .280 has a much better and wider bullet selection for reloading than the .270. But the .270 beats it by a long shot in factory chamberings.

I owned a .280 in a stainless Ruger 77. It was a good rifle. Probably should have kept it. I really liked the caliber.

I love the 280 ai. I have a couple of customs, one built on a Remington 700 action and one with a Borden action. I have used it to take pronghorn, deer, elk, oryx, and barbery sheep here in NM and bison in MT. I use the nosler partition or accubond.
