Guy's will attest my 270,30-06,.280 (whichever it happens to be)is the best, everything I've shot didn't take a step! It has very little to do with the individual cartridge here and much more to do with where you hit the bastid and with what bullet, so get over this .270 vs 30-06 vs .280 chit! you are comparing apples to apples to apples here...........Hb Holy Shidt! Finally! A rational thought about rifle cartridges! The 280 Remington is overbore. The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

Especially those early morning contouring around a mountain when the temp is minus- & my fingers are snap-frozen........ Taking my rifle for a walk

DJTex Campfire Tracker Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 4,135 Central Texas	Originally Posted by utah708 I understand being irrationally bored by a cartridge; in fact, the entire .30 caliber lineup is a yawner to me. But the .270 Win is so practical. Less recoil than an '06; works in shorter barrel than a 7 Mag; more upper end than a 25-06, feeds better than a WSM, ammo is cheaper and more available than 280, 284, WSM. Both my sons are running them as their "one gun." That makes a bunch of sense. DJ

I also ordered a "Jack O'Connor Custom Commemorative Rifle" when my dealer was at S.H.O.T. and that looks pretty neat. I do wish that they had put the P-64 bolt handle on it, though and then it would really be a neat piece. I intend to hunt it if it gets to Vancouver before I hit 90..........

DigitalDan Campfire Kahuna Joined: May 2004 Posts: 56,244 Likes: 33 In the Swamps	Originally Posted by LSP552 All the recent .270 love has made me want one. Surely there is a need because I'm only loading .375 H&H, .30-06, .308, 7-08, .243, 223. I sold a .280 because it never really excited me. But for some strange reason, the .270 is calling my name and I can't make it quit. Ken Put down your drink and step away from the bar! The obvious void in your collection would be found above the .40 threshold, not in between some gap measured in scant parts of an inch. Think about a Sharps in .45-70, or maybe a .45-120-3-1/4. Great big hunks of lead hissin' down range, little brunettes that call you 'Roy' with a dreamy wisp in their voice... What are you thinking???? .270? Geesh.... At the very least you could be thinking .500 Nitro in an H&H double, or at least a .470 Nitro. C'mon buddy, buck it up a little! Hindenburgs are more fun than ought to be legal. Here...the target is one mile down range: I am..........disturbed. Concerning the difference between man and the jackass: some observers hold that there isn't any. But this wrongs the jackass. -Twain

Everyone knows the 280 is the better round.... That's what the buddy I sold my .280 featherweight to said. But then he's a 7mm nut so I question his judgement. Ken
