See the .270 puts them on the turf quicker...grin Side note, as we both know there's absolutely nothing irrational about the .06. If everyone in the free world that I grew up with hadn't been such 06 fans and would of been .270 ones instead no doubt I'd be more of an 06 fan myself. Can we say obstinate... Dober

This thread is officially hijacked.
The 280 Remington is overbore.
The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

.270? If you really want panache go with the .280 Remington. Ive done a far bit of work with one, including moose and it has always did the trick. Mine is currently stoked with 154 Horny flat bases, and I have kicked over taking it elk hunting this year.

BW, when you headed this way?

Dober That's about it in a nutshell. My rancher buddy Jim told me the only reason he became a 7mmRM user is he was sick and tired of hearing nothing but "30-06" and "270" growing up... yeah, he's obstinate too. Guess I was lucky to grow up in a non-hunting family... I had no such prejudices, so chose the best. Naturally.

...the 300 Weatherby does sit in the best spot in the 300 line up because anything less is not enough of too much, and anything more is too much of not enough... Never heard it put quite like that. Had to read that one several times... DF Simply put, this is the absolute truth. The original question was between a 300 Win mag and a 300 WBY mag. Mashburns and all the rest of the sub 30 caliber junk is not allowed. Furthermore the reference of not enough and too much is applied to the 30-06 which, like it or not, is the benchmark by which all calibers are measured...

When this was stalled at somewhere 'round 16 pages I read the entire thread. Got some catchin' up to do. This may eclipse the 260 Rem vs 6.5x55 thread.

The rule of thumb on the Campfire is the less actual ballistic difference between two rounds, the longer the thread.

None of the .270/.280 Campfire threads has ever been formally closed. They're still wandering around somewhere in cyberspace, searching for a conclusion.
My guess is that someday a real rifle loony will post on one of the threads again, and we'll once again ride toward infinity.

Now if you really want some imigination to read, toss in the 7x64 and stand back.
