I think the dislike stems from some 280 AI guys claiming how incredible their round is. Keeping up with the 7 mag, superior to the 270 or 30-06. Things like that. So it's a case of backlash, in a way. The reality is the 280 AI is just fine, but isn't anything special compared to a bunch of other rounds.
Savage 99's case is different, as he is an idiot.
I agree on both counts. Some fellas load the pizz outta it and declare its magic. It is what it is, and that's just a real good round for a do all utility rifle on a .473 LA receiver.
