[QUOTE="kmassaro, post: 56338, member: 2463"] The only real difference between the 280 and the 270 is that you can load 175 grain bullets in the 280, and you can get a lot more factory ammo in the 270. Both differences are really quite minor. I doubt there is anything you can't kill with a 150 or 160 gr 270 that you can kill with a 175 gr bullet. I also doubt the greater ammo selection is that big of a deal, since you should not be buying ammo the night before hunting season anyway. And if you handload, no difference. Granted, you can get 7mm match bullets, but this is a forum entitled "long range hunting" so that's not that big of a deal either. [/QUOTE]
