Possibilities of a .280
« on: March 03, 2006, 08:21:53 AM »
In my search to get a good "large deer" rifle out to but usually not beyond 300yds., and maybe a bit more.  I have come across the .280.  I was looking at it with a 140gr bullet thinking it would be just a little short of a 7mm Mag and a lot less recoil.  So far I like the Weatherby .257 Mag., 25-06, and the 270 WSM.  There are things I don't like about all of the aforementioned so I am considering the .280.  Any thoughts from those who have hunted with them.  I will reload for what ever gun I get so ammo availability is a minor issue.   Thanks  Buckfever
