If handloading is the order of the day the 280 certainly has it in the bullet selection area.
The 270 has a much better shelf ammo availability.
But then this thread don't have one damn thing to do with the 270.
It's about Finn Aagaard and his thoughts on the 280
It's been turned into the police brigade and forceful recommendations about what may or may not be discussed on the fire have been thrown about.
It appears nobody gives two schits about those recommendations. We're here to discuss many topics including Finn Aagaard
Shod
Amazing isn't it ?
I thought his comments regarding the 7mm Express/.280 Rem within the article which Brad recently posted on the .270 Win were rather prophetic :
"For the handloader the 7mm Express/.280 Rem has the advantage that 175 gr bullets are available for it, but the chap who does not reload will find that a far greater variety of loads are offered by the manufacturers for the .270 than the .280
In any case, the differences between the two are so trifling as to be quite inconsequential for any hunting purposes save campfire discussions "
emphasis mine
