While I generally agree here the twins end at (roughly) 150 grain bullets.....then one can use 175 grains in the .280.......and as far as I can tell he is forced to handload if he wants a 160 grainer in the .270.

Not everyone is a fan of the .270 for elk but the .280 crowd has the decided advantage in the heavier bullets. IMO this is real and worthy.
