I've been looking at this cartridge more and more, and have always felt that the US really screwed the pooch by not adopting it. The whole ordeal sounds like a case of "not invented here syndrome".

6mm SAW, 6.5 Grendel, 6.8 SPC, 7mm BR, .280 Enfield, 7mm-08, name the other wildcats, 7.62x51 NATO on far right.
Does anyone know what the original rim diameter was for the .280 Enfield? The .280/30 seems to have been an appeasement to the US to use the .473 rim diameter.
I would love to have seen the AR10 in this caliber.
