Yep, that actually is exactly my point. It really is a good killing rig, but it doesn't have the twist for the VLD type stuff. Some guys see that as all the reason they need to go with a 6.5 or 7mm that can do both if they feel the need.
If I was headed out on a hunt and had to use a 270 instead of a 280, I really wouldn't care. If I'm building something for hunting and "funning", I'd just as soon go with something that affords me more options, even if I really don't plan to use them much.
