So a whole 7 thousandths of an inch makes the 280 a real performer over the .270huh?
but sooner or later were gonna have to get out of the box and make something even more adaptable...people
Like what. What would be more adaptable?
We already have every conceivable bullet diameter and velocity covered that can be shot from a portableshoulder fired gun.
Pushing a bulletat "X" velocity from case design "A" is the same as pushing that same bullet at the same velocity from case desigh "B". What is there to adapt? You said so yourself about the 30TC essentially being a .308 Win. with different powders. Oh, except that it is suppose to achieve the velocity of the 30-06.I guess they adapted their powders huh?
Actually they did adapt their powder. You can't buy the stuff they load with. Call and ask.Furthermore, I haven't been able to find any data that even comes close to the factory loads. In a few years, maybe it will come to market, but for now that piggy is home. And yes, 7 thousands of an inchcan make a difference, especially when you consider the other factors that go into cartridge developement, like case design. Consider the wsm's, wssm's, and the saum's...they didnt even change caliber, just case design.
Look, im not looking to pick fights on here or stir up the pot, but poke me and i'll not sit idly by.
