Gotta sell more guns. My 1960's 264 mag is still better IMO.

For all field purposes my minimum starts at .284. Everything underneath that size is playing without enough lead in the pipe.

This would be my starting point with the favor going to the 280AI.

swampgas chili and schmidt beer makes for a deadly combo

I agree. The early 1900’s through the turn of the century had about every type of caliber under the sun. From barrel burning lasers to big old “one and done” rounds that were built to kill anything on this earth deader than dead.
I think the short mag trend is continuing with the latest offerings. The enthusiasm is definitely there with the newer cartridges.
