[QUOTE="Pistol packer, post: 716857, member: 34702"] Feenix, i'm in no way meant that disrespectfully. i think some have misunderstood my responses. this is one thing that cant be helped on the internet or writing unlike being there. i LOVE the 270. i think it is one of the most efficient wonderful rounds ever introduced. it CAN hang right in there with 280 (both in standard and AI dress. I am not saying you cant get performance near to the other cartridges. he pushed the 25-06 to the limits too and got velocities near the 3700 fps mark in various improved versions. he didnt RECOMMEND it tho as it really burned up barrels and was rather persnickity in loading. each cartridge has its own personallity i have found over the years. modern steels have helped a lot on the erosion factor, as well as we learned to not shoot the piece when it is hot and a lot of other factors. the 280 was a dud to the public but handloaders loved it in the old days because we could get 7 mm bullets (the second most varied and factory produced cal.) and really use our "modern 270-as some of us said". we loved the 270 so much that the 280 with the available factory 7mm bullets was just gravy. today that is not so much the case as more and more bullet manufacturers are making slugs that fill the niche for more and more calibers. i guess i should have prefaced what i said before with the above. you guys really did make my day and that is with all respect too. can a lover of shooting ever hate any cartridge? if they had spear season i would hunt that too. doc [/QUOTE]
