Once again BBJ and I agree.
The 280 is a superior round to the 7-08. As I've stated before the 280 is my favorite weapon.
If anyone can tell the difference between 8 inches and 7 inches at 300 yards they are a better shot than me. I personally would much rather shoot a 140 gr. 7mm bullet than a 150 gr. 30 caliber due to thebetter sectional density. but like they say opinions are like butts....everyone has one....some stink worse than others....
the .280 is superior to almost everything. I don't see why you insist on comparing 140 gr. to 150 gr. bullets. I don't know why anyone would use a 30 cal 150 gr. for anything other than punching paper, at least not when you have an option of a 180 gr. that outperforms aeverythign else.
I use the 150gr bullets in my .308 because it refused to group any facotry 180 i tried. Did more like patterning.....3"+ @ 100 yards. The 150s on the otherhand grouped ~1"-2". In my gun the 150's were superior as far as accuracy..... havent gotten my reloading press up and running yet though.
