The 270 makes better safe queen beauties of wood and blue, IMO. That 84L Montana screams 280 Ackley like peanut butter and jelly..
Couldn't disagree more... but we all have our perspective.
Blooded my 270 Montana today on an elk... worked like a boring broken record.
There are more beaten up rifles riding in pickups, scabbards,and the gunracks of far flung BG hunting locations world wide,with rust,worn checkering or faded paint,and high body counts on several continents,chambered for 270 Winchester than there is,or ever will be,for the 280AI.It will never "catch up".
Like one experienced BG hunter form the past once said...With the 270 Winchester..... "you can mostly ignore energy tables,charts,TKO formula's,and potency equations..."
This may cause 280AI fans to reach for the Midol,but it is what it is....
