In spite of my defending it, I actually only own one .270. But it is a good one that is fast & accurate.  And yes, if I goof and leave the ammo at home I can still find some in Ozona, Tx. .270 versus .280 is to me another one of those cases where I look at it and ask what rifles are chambered in it. In my case the Ruger #1B is just about perfect for either one of them, but .270's are easy to find and .280's are uncommon. If I stumbled on a really appealing rifle, the .280 would be fine, and maybe a hair better than the .270 on elk. But if I was going to have one built, I'd probably pick a .270 Weatherby, 7mm STW, or something else with significantly more ooomph than the .270 Winchester, to justify the expense.

Today: 270 vs 280 vs 30-06.
50 years ago: Dodge vs Chevy vs Ford.
150 years ago: Appaloosa vs Mustang vs Quarter Horse vs Saddle Bred.
The discussion goes on and on and on... Only the subject changes...

I'll keep my 7mm RM and .280 Rem. No need for a .270.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.

Attention Walmart shoppers, Remington CoreLokt 270WCF ammunition now on sale in aisle 3  Sorry . . . can't help myself, because dumbass statements from 270 owners like the one above make it so hard for me to like the the 270, and I own several. In every measurable (case capacity, bullet selection, high BC bullets and attendant factory barrel twists) the 280 owns a slight advantage. For the factory ammo Walmart shopper, the 270 is king.

I also think there are MORE 270 reloaders than 280 reloaders. Remember - I like the 280 also. Jerry

Well, some of you more or less got the point of this.
You guys still trying to convince us that one is "better" than the other pretty much missed it.

So which 140 NAB has the better BC? Nah, how about 110 Barnes zappers?
Ok, I'll give you 162's especially since the ABLR was a swing and a miss and came in at .543 not .625. Ahh phuqqit.
So the delima is to ditch the 260 and 7RM, roll (2) 270's and phuqq all the reloading BS with some fine 270 factory fodder???
Can it be done? Sounds like a set up for failure and wounded/missed animals
These are the things that keep me awake at night. Serious stuff...

I am pretty sure it would work just fine, and make life so much easier.

Love that big ol' bruiser Bob.... The new school stuff kills too..... even at old school ranges.... 162 outta the .280 at 18 yards..... ![[Linked Image]](http://i352.photobucket.com/albums/r325/dogdownproductions/C21A0651-483E-45B1-9507-BCD17BC47349_zpsehhaoc94.jpg) I'm sure I could live a long and prosperous hunting career with a .270.... painted rainbow colors of course. Doesn't matter which one I've got in my hands.... if I can't find a critter to shoot. Seems like boots, Binos, packs, and other gear have been FAR more important than .050-.100 in BC on all my hunts. But, I'm the kinda guy who'll hedge bets a little ballisticlly..... 'Bore..... The .280 threats the .270 like ham in pan, wraps it up in Saran, then kidnaps it and slaps it up inside of a van..... since we're on LL references.... by the way.... don't get mad an explode, because I know your nine is easy to reload.....
You better pray to the God of Skinny Punks that this wind doesn't pick up......

A couple years ago I got a stand on the edge of the ranch. The other hunters said, "what if your deer runs off after you shoot it?" I replied, "I'm not going to let it run off" I didn't let him run off, he was DRT. ![[Linked Image]](http://i712.photobucket.com/albums/ww127/tex_n_cal/1andbuck_zps0f4efb8b.jpg)

Why do you mock people who shop at Walmart? The 280 isn't very popular because since 1957 not many people have wanted it. Plain and simple. You can numerically compair any two cartridges, but thier values don't nessasarly equate to an "advantage". In the case of the 280 the "advantages" you claim seem to have very little impact over the 270win pragmatically or in popularity. Also, there are cartridges with lesser "advantages" as you described them that are not only newer but more popular than the 280, for example the 7mm-08 and the 6.5CM.
