280 Remington and the 150 Partition.
Here is why:
+ more than good enough for what most of us do (heck it is just an improvement on the 270 AND the 30-06)
+ most folks can handle the recoil
+ allows you to argue with your 7x57 friends
+ allows you to argue with your 260 and 7-08 friends
+ allows you to ignore your 270 friends
+ Federal offers it in factory ammo and has for years (are they on to something?)
+ allows you to win the bullet weight argument with the < 270 crowd
+ for the >= 30 caliber friends, you just ask them what are they compensating for?
