i have a .280 and if you handload it's a hell of a cartridge.there also more and more factory loads available for them now.The 7-08 is a great cartridge as well but i don't have one so i can't comment.I'm sure you will get plenty of opinions on here. the .280 is as fast and flat as a .270 and hits a little harder.i have taken deer, elk ,moose and bears with mine and with good bullets and good shot placement it will do the job everytime.that being said i don't think there is a right or wrong between the two.Like what you shoot and shoot what you like.
