Sure!

Point being when you have to siphon through such closely matched shidt, there ain't THAT much difference.

Some? Sure.

But earthshaking? Nope.




The 280 Remington is overbore.

Yes, you got it right! !

Now DANG it!! Bob, smirk

I was staying out of this "conversation" on purpose. This is such an OLD story I don't understand why many don't get it by now.

Maybe cause some aren't as OLD as WE are? grin

The REAL question is: "which is better, the 9mm or 45acp?" Or "Glock vs Colt: THE FINAL ANSWER!"

Holy schit, every rag from the 80's.....

All these numbers is confusing and pretty much unnecessary.

Keep it simple.

The .270 is for women and frail men.

The .280 is for manly men.

That's what I read, anyway, back in the day when Jack O'Carmichael was expounding on the merits of said such .280 in Outdoor Fields.

The 30-06 is a great caliber.
The 270 is a great caliber.
So why would the 280 be any worse or any better than those two?

The 280 is magical. It helped bag me! The young lady I was dating bought me a 280 Mountain Rifle when we were dating. I claim it pushed me over the edge and I married her laugh

28 years later and no complaints so it isn't all bad wink

Its like anything else, give and take between the 3 and it just depends on what you wanna give and what you wanna take.

Nobody kicks their own dog and either is going to convince the other even when numbers prove otherwise.

And none of it matters anyway.

Odds are this discussion will fire up again in another thread, closer to fall.
