While it may be true that .270 ammunition is more available than .280, that fact in no way makes the .270 a more perfect deer cartridge, which I thought was the topic.

If some way could be devised that you were forced to spend the rest of your life shooting a round that you could not identify in any way except by observing the results on paper and animal targets, you would be very hard pressed to tell whether you were shooting the .270, .280 or .30-06.

I will stick with my original contention that there is no PRACTICAL difference between them all when it comes ot shooting deer. Any "proof" that one is superior to the others on deer is a just a paper chase. Note the "on deer" as a qualification. On bigger animals and smaller ones there are differences that can occasionally matter.
