There are a lot of facts in this thread, a lot of opinions and some blather. I've shot, owned and truly like both the .270 and .280. Each has minor strong points over the other. Having said that, I've been convinced for years that if the late Mr. O'Conner had discovered the .280 first, history would be different. Note, I do not state that as fact, just my opinion.
