Hopefully the 270 guy is gone so the thread can get back on track.
No we're still here.
Of the OP's two choices I would take the 280....I suspect there is more ammo around and brass as well.The 7mm bullets are great too.The trade off is the same it's always been...the 7mm handles heavier bullets.
On the hijacked thread subject, I just ran the Hornady Ballistic lab for the 150-270 ABLR (.625);the 7mm-150 ABLR (.611);and the 7mm-168 (.652).
I gave them all 2900 fps even though it would take a pretty warm load to get that in a 280 with a 168 and we are really getting into 7 Rem Mag velocities.
Sorry to disappoint you guys preaching old 270 stuff but the differences between the three bullets to 1000 yards is not worth mentioning...that includes wind, too.Go see for yourself.
Shod is right;you guys preaching 280 superiority are giving antiquated info today.I think you'r just annoyed because there are 277 bullets that rival the 7mm pets
