[QUOTE="marketello, post: 56339, member: 2960"] I had a pre-64 30-06 for years, and just never could get used to having to shift the rifle around. I finally sold it to a friend and started shooting a lever action. I always told myself if I was to buy another bolt it would be a lefty. I'm sure you guys have seen the ballistic comparison on the Remington site, and maybe they cook the results to favor the Remington calibur, but the .280 has imprsessive numbers. You can put in three calibers, (270, 280, 308)then I picked the same bullet (150gr express softpoint) and read the results. Compared the ballistics off the federal site also and that site also favored the .280 but not quite as much.
