The .270 Win. shoots with 17.5% greater velocity and has up to 11% more energy than the .280 rem. given certain loadings and ballistic contexts
Please share with us the specific loads you are referencing here.
The 270 Winchester, with the right bullets, is also more benchrest accurate and has greater angular momentum propensity and drive on animals, especially with the latest bullets that are not available in the 280 due to factory crap loads
Its the beauty of the internet, folks, where anyone with a computer becomes an expert on virtually any subject. I'd be willing to bet that the individual who posted this has never owned either cartridge, much less shot or loaded for one. I am curious, though, as to what bullets are available for the .270 that aren't available for the .280?
The .280 is a fantastic round, as is the .270. Calling one better than the other shows complete ballistic ignorance.
