browning bar .280

so i recently bought a browning bar .280 the issue im having is finding stores that actually stock this round or have them in stock ive checked quite a few places nothing ive also heard they have changed it over to 7mm express havnt looked for that yet before i use it id like to know if this is correct or if there is a more commen round thats easier to find i would rather not order it online though
it does say down the barrel
"bar caliber .280 rem. only"

The .280 Remington, and 7mm Remington Express are the same cartridge. The Remington Boffo's got this wild idea to rename it back in the 70's or early '80's to the Express. It was a huge marketing failure, as usual, and so they went back tot he 280 Remington name. It should be much easier to find .280 than 7mm Remington Express.

And please don't confuse it with 7mm Remington Magnum which is a completely different cartridge.

yea i was givin a large tub of random rifle ammunition i looked at the 7mm express the .280 and the 7mm mag the mag was a little bigger so i figured that couldnt be hmm but perhaps another name change or something i havnt been able to find the .280 really any where around my area and dont really want to order it
