Well, I've been bitten, and am working up a .280 Dubiel. I found a treasure trove of cases, loaded ammo and bullets, as well as a chambering reamer, and have gone back down the Dubiel/Keith/Hoffman rabbit hole. I can get dies from CH4D. My problem, and I seem to have run into a wall, is finding a barrel. There are no barrel makers in the US that I can find that can make the .280 bore diameter barrel (I've read both .287 and .288 groove diameter).
But the .280 D is very similar (diameter wise) to the .275 H&H magnum, which uses a .287 bullet, so I am going to start checking British barrel makers next. I know Holland wouldn't sell me a barrel and I probably couldn't afford it if they did.
Can anyone think of a short cut? Are there domestic barrel makers that can do custom bore sizes?
