Ok, forget ballistics. Real world stuff here folks. The fact that hunters forget stuff and the fact that in a pinch, you can buy .270 almost anywhere make it more ideal for deer hunting. True, the .280 may be able to do what the .270 can but is not readily available everywhere. This is something alot of folks must do when choosing a one and only deer rifle.
Also, if a hunter does not know what his gun can do, they shouldn't be taking the shot.
