I feel sorry for Ken Waters (of "Pet Loads" fame). He had two serious separate reviews of both the 280 Rem and 7mm Express the the same volume of "Pet Loads." Ultimately, they were very truthful. The two separate reviews/evals were well done. They didn't compare one to the other. The results indicated they were both capable and useful cartridges.
I guess he didn't see the forest because of the trees. Memo to Ken Waters: "They are both the same." The marketing guys just tryied to hype and hump a new round-and you didn't catch it. To his credit, he work indicated one was not better than the other-but he never reported they were the same-except for the headstamp. I always wondered how Waters felt before, during and after he wrote those two reports. Did he ever feel like a stooge? Maybe we'll never know.
