I also heard thad just before his passing he was having Al Beisen build he a .280 Remington on a Ruger action. That from Mr. .270 himself. Interesting. Paul B.
Not to hijack the thread, but that's been my question for a long time: I wonder why? That just seems odd to me: a pushfeed .280 in JOC's hands. Unless someone gave it to him and he was simply having AB restock it for him.
It seems to me that JOC would have been well aware that the .270 and .280 are like two peas in a pod, so maybe this was just a chance to explore another variation on one of his favorite cartridges.
