I'm a fan of the .280 as most here know. I came to be that because I read Carmichaels article on the .280 some 20 odd plus years ago, and liked what he wrote. That combined with the fact that at the time I hunted with a bunch of guys that though you needed 7mmRMs/WMs, or 300WM/Winne to kill our little Alabama deer, and I was staunchly anti-magnum. And finally my dad was of the OConnor generation, loved the .270, and I wanted to be a bit different. When I found out none of the "mag crowd" in these parts even knew what a .280 was, that was it, it was cartridge for me. Can't say it holds any distinct advantage over the .270, except one...I like it more.
