The .280 Remington is a very good round though not as popular as either the .270 or the .30-06. For 99% of the hunting done in the lower 48.....there is little difference between the above three mentioned rounds! Each of the three might be slightly better than the other in a specific situation but not enough difference between them to really matter. (Other than for personal preference!)

By picking specific weights of bullets a case can be made that one is better than the other two....but by changing bullet weights and shapes, (and intended uses), you can show that for ANY OF THE THREE!

All three of the above are truly useful cartridges....and essentially overlap in the majority of their usage!
