I also heard thad just before his passing he was having Al Biesen 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.
Since no one has offered a known reason........
? Maybe just something different ? It would seem to me that JOC had every opportunity to do whatever he desired with the 270.
