Someone please explain what "better" bullet selection means?
You need it explained?
It has to do with both size and BC. For example if you think you need a stout, heavier bullet for big animals the biggest Partition you can shoot in your .270 is 160 grains; the biggest for the .280 is 175 grains. The heaviest TTSX Barnes lists for the .270 is 130 grains; for the .280 it's 150.
For Berger bullets the highest BC you can get in .270 is .662, for the .280 it's .755.
And so on and so forth.
Sure, if a guy is chasing BC. But a 140 gr .277 NAB beats a 140 gr. 284 NAB in that department.
Both still Accubombs.
For non-loonies, there isn't a nickel's worth of difference between the bullets available for the .270 and a .280.
For most, I suspect the local gun shop has a wider selection of loaded ammo for the .270.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
