I am not a ballastics person and was needing opinions on these two cartidges. I would be shooting a Federal Premium 160gr Trophy Bonded Tip out of the .280 and a Federal Premium 140gr Accubond out of the .270 WSM. The difference in velocity at 400 yards is 2447 from the 270 WSM vs. 2138 from the 280. The difference in energy AT 400 yards is 1862 from the 270 WSM vs. 1624 from the 280. 400 yards is the longest shot I would feel comfortable taking is why I give the numbers at that distance. Any advice would be welcomed because if the .270 WSM is a clear winner I would have to buy a new gun. I am a little recoil sensitive so I don't want any bigger gun even though I know I am limiting myself.
Also, if I need to buy a new gun any suggestions as to the manufacturer you would suggest.
