gotta go along with that. I've taken quite a bit of game with the 270, the 280, & the 30-06. While I haven't used the 270 or the 06 near as much as the 280 (my all time favorite) but when I have I can't tell a bit of difference. I prefer the 280 for the versatility it offers over the others especially when I do the loading for it. 163bc
