Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles How Good is the .280 Rem?

As someone who shot the 270 Win for years, I will say the 280 Rem is all the 270 is and more. Why? Take a look at the vastly superior weights of bullets available for the 7mm family of cartidges.

The only weakness of the 280 Rem was, as usual, Remington's lame advertising support of the cartridge. Remington has the habit of introducing awesome cartridges, and fail to support it with suitable, and sustainable advertising so the average Joe can "GET IT".

Another example of a superior cartridge to the 270 win is the
7mm Saum. As Mule Deer wrote, it is a 280 AI in a short cartridge, now I ask you, what is not to like about that???

And I love the 270 win, popped my share of mulies and blacktail with it.
