And for those who advocate the .280, what are the advantages of the .280 over the .270...what bullet weight in the .280?





The unpopular 280 Remington (ever seen or shot one?) can out-perform the highly respected 270 Winchester, the historic 7x57mm Mauser, the modern-Mauser-replacement 7mm-08 Remington, the 30-06 Springfield, the sparkling 25-06 Remington, and even that trendy of trendiness (dare I say it?), the 6.5 Creedmoor.

Matches or beats trajectory and energy of 270 Win. and 30-06 Springfield
Shoots bullets from 100-grains to 195-grains
Effective for game from groundhogs to moose

What bullet weight in the .280 would you use most of the time, or would you keep changing the bullet weight and have to keep resighting it in due to probably the different elevation and windage for each time you change bullet weights?



If you shoot factory ammo, this will do just fine
