I am pretty amused by those who pick the 280 over the 270 because of the "large selection" of bullet weights. For big game hunting, I have found 130's best in the 270 and 140's in the 280. I'll wager fewer than 2% use 160's or 175's in their standard 280's. 150's work pretty well in both bores.
That is very true, but put me down as 160 guy. I got hooked on them back when Federal had 160 NAB load. I found out it didn't drop much more than the lighter bullets and drifted less in the wind. It worked quite well on critters.
Now I handload both 140's and 160's for one of my .280's and shoot 150 Partitions in another.
