Well since I have a 280 AI, 3 270's and one 30-06 I'll say this. The 280 AI has only been out a couple of times. The 270's have had a pretty good share of field time and killed a few antelope, whitetails, mulies and elk. However the 30-06 has been out a minimum of 3 times as often and put truckloads of various game animals in the freezer. 180 grain bullets at near 2800 fps just seem to do the job no fuss. 150 grain bullets at near 3000 fps do the job just fine on lighter stuff if maybe just a bit messy. Long ago settled on the loads I use in the 30-06 and have yet to find fault with them. If I cared about closet space I would have two 30-06's, one sighted in for the 150 gr. load and one sighted in for the 180 gr. load. Maybe even better both sighted in for the 180 gr. load.
