I am a big fan of the 280AI if I had started with this first then no need for anything else. I even converted a 270 to 280AI as it had a bad chamber. But the 270 is one of the best rounds out there. You can't really top it until you get to 30-33 caliber and then only for the bigger stuff. The magnums only extend the point blank range of the 270 some 30 yards or so.

My only complaint with the 270 is the Leopard thong keeps giving me a wedgy while I am hunting.
