I don't know about the ammo deal. I can go on-line or make one phone call and I find what I want. If I want to take just under a 3 hr drive I can pick it up and save some time. Who buys only one box of ammo these days? i buy one box of ammo at a time...whats wrong with that? head down to academy, get my box of hornady 130 grain customs, then head back home. 4 years later when I am out of ammo I go back and buy another box. You can order ammo online (for now) but not everyone wants to be dependant on the UPS man for his ammo supply. I guess I shoot way more than you then. I shoot my rifle before season (3 shot group minimum) and then will usually shoot 5-8 boxes on deer per season. I never have less than 3 boxes on hand due to the fact that Wally World can be the only game in town and they will be out of .270 almost 9 out 10 times I go in. When I do buy I will buy them out. I use Ammo To Go for my .280 and made trips to them to buy when I was living closer to them. Now I just get them to ship. I want to see you go on a mule deer hunt with just a partial a box of ammo. Head down to Academy today and report back on their supply. Good lord man, 5-8 boxes on deer? Your either supply a guerilla army with meat or are the worst shot in existence , lol I typically take two rifles with me on a trip. 8-15 rounds per rifle usually. Never had an issue with running out of rounds. I shoot my .270 two or three times a year on average The .22-250 a bit more but I don't do a whole lot of shooting unless it's at an animal I have gone thru over 3 boxes in 10 days when killing does and I did not miss one shot. Sounds like you have never flown on a trip and had to resight your rifle due to handling by airport baggage handlers.
Are idiots multiplying faster than normal people? ![[Linked Image]](http://neoswarm.com/images/Bug_Crawling.gif)

I have a 280 and a 7x57 obviously the same as the 708. I use the 7x57 when I'm shooting under 200yds, which is 90% of the time. For Texas deer 300yds or less, espicially with factory loads, I'm not sure that you would ever notice the difference

I have a Ruger #1-B in .280 Remington and I love shooting that rifle. Extremely Accurate, and have shot less than 1/2" groups @ 100 with Factory loads.
Compared to 7mm Rem, it seems like it matches performance and doesn't seem to have the same amount of recoil.
