Is the .280 the same as the 7MM Remington express? Yes, & the 7mm06. Nope on the 7mm06 being the same. The 7mm06 can be chambered and fired in some 270 Winchester rifles so they pushed the shoulder out enough that the 280 and 7mm Remington Express will not chamber in a 270 and fire. Winchester did not pay attention to this and had to delay the introduction of their 7mm WSM until they reworked it the same way. The express came out as a way to try and breath more life and interest in the 280, but too many were seeing 7mm Remington and thinking Magnum and buying it for their magmun, so Remington changed back to the 280, that happened in the early 80s IIRC

I had a Nosler years ago.. I absolutely loved the gun and caliber, 140g Accubonds were very effective and accurate.
I eventually got rid of it because I just didn't have the time for handloading anymore and factory ammo was scarce and expensive.
I now have a 7mag that is also a very lightweight rifle and with a can on it the recoil is totally fine..
They both are very close in performance and 7 mag ammo has a ton of options...
That old 280AI is still running strong! All my hunting buddies call that rifle "Jerry Lee" its a killer!
