time to buy a new rifle, i've been using my dads old Savage 110 in 270 and its a nice gun but im looking at a Remminton 700 in.280rem ive noticed that the ammo selection for the 280 is no where near the selection of the 270 but i like to be the one with something different and i dont know anyone who uses a .280rem so what i'm asking is justhow good a cartridge is the 280 onelk (i know it will drop adeer clean) any tips will help, thanks
Almost everyone I've ever heard of who owns a .280 is in freakin'
LOVE with it. In reality, you won't see ½ a red ____ hair's worth o' difference vs. a .270. If you like to "roll your own" ammeaux, go for the .280. Otherwise the .270 would do you just as well in the field, and you could buy factory ammo in every persuasion imagineable.
