Every body seems to think that Jack O' Connor was totally in love with the .270.

I read a bit by Jim Carmichell once where he told of being at a party where Jack O' Connor was present. Carmichell got talking to Jack and told him about a custon rifle he was having built. Even though Carmichell was having it chambered in .280 he told Jack, what he thought he would like to hear, that he was getting it in .270. Well after awhile O' Connor got Carmichell off to the side where noone else could hear and said it would be better to have the custom rifle chambered in .280 as it was just a little bit better round for a handloader to work with.

If I didn' t have a .264 win. mag. I would be very interested in getting a .280.
