To the last part of that post, I'm talking about real world stuff. Sometimes hunters forget their shells at home. Drop into any local store and you will likely find .270 but not .280 stuff.
The '06 may have a couple hundred more foot lbs. of energy than the .270 but do you think the deer cares? Now, the .270 has maybe an inch or two less drop at long range. It could mean the difference between a complete miss and a killing spine shot. That matters.
