Could name it the .270 Ingwe Improved. But if it was " Improved" it damn sure wouldn't be a .270.....

It certainly would be if it was necked up to .29 caliber.... Stop that.

Good thing you didn't say "caliber," I'd have been all over that.

+1
Nothing to really add here until I do some load development in my own 280AI.
But a +1 gets me one step closer to my Guide/Bwana/Kahuna merit badges

Yes, I know and they do it because using the correct terminology, "chambering" is confusing to some people.

Could name it the .270 Ingwe Improved. The 280 Ackley already is a 270 Improved....

I don't think I've ever seen a rifle box that used caliber for the actual caliber. Jerry

Semi-custom hunting rifle that consistently shoots 5 factory rounds into .25" should be immediately put in a firearms museum and never shot again.

Perhaps it's bore was impregnated with Unicorn antler dust? Talking about impregnated bores and unicorns in the same sentence makes this sound like a .270 thread. The .280AI has NOT caught the gay.
