Splitting some pretty fine hairs. Right! Exactly. Not much an 06 can't do. Same could be said about the other 2 and a long list of others.

A replay of the 7/08 vs. 270 thread. So which one came out on top?

Nobody's right if everybody's wrong.
Getting into reloading to save money is like getting married for free sex.

The 280 is like a 30-06 with more panache.
What one does the other will be equally well.

Both great cartridges. I have two .30-06's and one .280. I used to hunt deer with the 30-06 years ago, but lately find myself using it most often for elk. I've used the .280 mostly for deer and antelope. But there is a lot of overlap between the cartridges so either one can serve well for almost any American big game.
The choice of which to use when is mostly about personal preference.

Funny, but I have one .30-06 and two .280s. I know I only "need" one of the three and dread having to make the choice, but I want to pare down on my possessions. I'll just do what I have to do, though. That said, I'll suggest that it's six of one or a half dozen of the other when it comes to getting the job done because both will launch very good bullets with sufficient vigor. If you handload, the .280 is very interesting but if you only buy factory ammo, then the .30-06 makes more sense.
Don't be the darkness.
America will perish while those who should be standing guard are satisfying their lusts.

I'm down to one 30-06, a 280 AI and 3 270's. Usually take the 30-06 near the end of the season because it is a lucky rifle.

The 280 & 270 are far superior to the 30-06.... there, I said it......

Dream rifle is a 30-06 improved. 165s at 2950 maybe more. Ain't nothing taking that. I have a .30 Gibbs that is fast becoming my favorite rifle if I have to walk much. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/YJPZeBz.png) Pushes the 165 NAB accurately in the 2950-3000 fps range with a 22" barrel and H4350. Staball 6.5 will push it even faster but I got poor accuracy. It is all ballistic nonsense as there is very few scenarios where the extra 100-150 fps makes any difference but it is fun to shoot something different.

Always been a huge 06 fan but think the 280 could be a better choice

30-06 can be very versatile for the hand loader.

Aint a thang wrong with the Improved or the Gibbs.

The true and tried 30-06. Been doing the job forever. I think that pretty much says it all. I have a .280, several .270s and a few 30-06s. If push came to shove and I could only have one? The 30-06 would be the one that stays. PJ
