Recoil isn't quite as heavy as with a .30'06, and doesn't need a 24" barrel to show its stuff like the high pressure .270 Win, or .25'06

Huh?
Campfire logic, Bob.
That guy has been sniffing the fu ck out of some good glue...
Must be some special Canadian glue that you can't get in the states.
Or maybe it's just the metric system.
By my math, it's hard to see how the .007" difference in the 270 and 280 allows you to use a shorter barrel without compromising performance.
Then again, I've never complained about a 22" 270.
