Rin B : Your "friends" are just trying to save you from yourself wink

Seriously though, the improvements we see are incremental. Sometimes small steps forward, sometimes backwards.
The commercial successes aren't always due to better results. Sometimes just better marketing and distribution.

Is the .280 better than the .270 ? Not if you can't find ammo for it in the stores in hunting country. That is the ultimate test.
Doesn't matter if it's Improved 28 RCBS, or SAAMI AI 40 - No brass, No bang.

Why are the premium bullets not loaded in .280 Rem ? Demand & Supply.

6.8x64 is available world-wide with virtually every suitable bullet.


History May Not Repeat, But it Rhymes.
