I'd say they're BOTH actually the typical "internet gun-guru". They both offer speculation on why one companies cartridge under-sold expected numbers (specifically the .280 Remington and the WSSM line). They both make unfounded claims emphasizing moot points, like the importance of the color blue in the visible spectrum of deer, or comparing the .280 rem to a .270 or .30-06.
Personally, comparing the two cartridges is the same arguement as a .308win vs a .243, a 7mm mag vs a .270, a chevy Silverado vs a Ford F-150, Miller light vs Bud light... to each his own... I wouldn't prefer EITHER cartridge for deer, but your mileage may vary...
