.280 is an excellent choice and a quantum leap out of gayness from the .270

What about the .280AI, now that commercial brass is available and fireforming not necessary?
Getting pretty far from the .204, but would like ingwe's thoughts.

Sure, why not? The .280 is one of the more efficient cartridges ( meaning the ballistics you get out of it for the components you put in it...) The .280ai oughta be the bees knees.... Course, A guy doesn't truly need anything more that a 7x57

Reason numba one..... ![[Linked Image]](http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c124/huntsman22/critters/IMG_3309_zpse2faa175.jpg) That's a serious case of gas right there.  Sorry for the slow feedback, I just got home from Hell. Needed a shower. Sometimes after I see the hit with CB shorts I can hear them scream a little. You hear that much?

Replacing a .270 with a .280,well,that's like turning down sex with a hot,gorgeous female model and jumping Nancy Pelosi bones.

The .280 is a stretched 7x57, invented for American who have a .270 phobia yet somehow can't bring themselves to hunt with a German round. This mental aberration was first exhibited by the British, who for similar reasons felt compelled to rename the 7x57 the .275 Rigby.
The .280 Ackley Improved, on the other hand, is a broad-shouldered, manly round, developed for rifle loonies who have 7mm Remington Magnum phobias.
A little-known fact is that a great many of our present hunting cartridges were invented by psychiatrists who decided to cash in on the irrational fears of many shooters who aren't just rifle loonies, but certifiable rifle loonies.

I haven't had my coffee yet..... How long have you been up? Any longer than 15 minutes between feet on floor and coffee in cup its just assumed you were putting your 270 back in the cabinet.

The 270 recoils less than the 280.... I think you need to dissect the available data of both shooting the same weight bullet at the same velocity before you can make a bold, blanket statement like that. Look carefully at all sources of data( that you personally like, and which back your contention)break them down to their respective minutae, obsess over the 'facts' you have found. Then and only then are you prepared to go on line and dispute the findings of known experts in the most petulant way possible.
