    Okay, lets strike at it this way. How many cases do you need and what price would you pay? I think it can be done for 3.75-4.00 a piece if there is enough interest we can move forward.

    I know this is an old thread, but just came across this thread. Looks like 280 Ross brass can be formed from 300 Win Mag..... https://forum.nosler.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=34393

    The 280 Ross rimless can be made from 375 Ruger. Three Forms and a Trim are needed .

    Then it should be able to also be formed from 300 Ultra Mag, right?

    I was thinking maybe the 8x56 Mannlicher. It has the rim, but not the length.

    If you want another orphan round, ALSO British, I was thinking of the 7x43mm round their Army developed for the "Bullpup" platform (and, if memory serves, the round for which the FN-FAL was originally intended). Mighta been a nice medium-range medium game round.
