    Sorry nothing there. Did multiple searches even using 280 nitro express (Rimless) so if it is on the web some place I cannot find it. I have the bible but some of the numbers are a little blurry for cartridge dimensions. The book also doesn't show chamber dimensions.

    This is a little clearer than the book. More generic measurements though.

    Try the Canadianicon Patent Office or maybe the U.S. Patent Office.

    Excellent! Just what I needed.

    Do you have a source for the files you provided? I wouldn't mind purchasing a copy.

    Found the website. Good info there for old calibers!

    I've always found Commission Internationale Permanente (CIP) very useful - and its free. The Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers' Institute (SAAMI) charges for the service.

    "...(SAAMI) charges for the service..." SAAMI specs are on-line for free. Click on 'Technical Information' then 'Cartridge and Chamber Drawings, then Rifle, etc. Opens as a .pdf. Right click and print.
    The .280 Ross probably isn't there as that though. Might be as the .280 Nitro Express. Didn't look.
