Anyone here reloading the .280 rem and just necking down .30-06 cases? Do you find them to short or has it not been a problem?
that is a lot of work to make one round. loading a muzzle loading flintlock is easier lol. is their a shortage of 280 brass?There is this...it seems to make sense...but I've never done it.
Run a .338 or .35 expander thru the '06 brass mouth, then size with the .280 rem die to create a "false shoulder" on the '06 brass. size the newly necked-up case in your .280 dies until it justs chambers in your rifle, then load and fireform using a suitable starter load for .280 rem...don't be afraid to lube the case mouth!
The step you created allows the brass to flow forward providing brass properly formed for your chamber.
