The 270 and 280 bounce off those darn saber tooth elk.....
I can't speak to the 280.... with the 7mm bore and a better bullet selection (more "heavy for caliber" options)it soundslike an improvement.
I can say I HAVE witnessed some shots on elk with a 270 that I WISHED had bounced off!
It would have made for a much happier story!
Just my experience.
Do you feel that a larger caliber would have helped on bad hits? Or isthe under.30 cal classthe only one capable of bad hits? You know you cant blame a bad shot on the caliber. Theres no bad guns...only bad shooters...
