[QUOTE="Long Time Reader, post: 838864, member: 69671"] The ballistics between the 270 win and 280 rem are so close it wasn't even worth thinking about creating the 280 rem. My uncle has a 270-308 and it recoils less and weighs less than my friends 280 rem and you can actually make a good LR target rig on the 270-308 short action cartridge if you want. The 270-308 with a 160 nosler - recoil is about the same as the 280 with a 140. Also, if I wanted more punch I'd go back to my 270 win or 270 wsm. The rifle my uncle built ( not much to it - same for [B]any[/B] caliber ) for that cartridge [U][B]is[/B][/U] an excellent LR target rig.gun) [/QUOTE]
