My all time favorite bullet in the 307/308 is a discontinued Speer 165 RN bullet.
Some 15-16 years ago, pop ran out of the Herter's bullet he liked so much, we began looking different bullets. He had the idea maybe less recoil might be a good thing. (My pop is not a big man and getting older) We loaded some Speer 150 FPs to about 2600fps. Accuracy was good, so he went hunting. The first couple does he shot where bang flops with close broad side shots. BUT NO exits and massive damage from a disintgrating bullet. The he had a bigger buck walk in front of him, The bullet struck the top of the shoulder, the impact point was visable with a large red spot, nearly imeadiately. The deer went down but got back up and ran. Pop was in a tree stand and hunting thick laurels. He was lucky enough to watch the deer circle the hilltop and stop behind him, where he was able to put a finishing bullet in his lungs at a little over 150 yards. Good thing he made a mental note of that spot, because the was hair and little blood at first shot. NOTHING to track to where the deer died. We got to the deer and found that that first shot NEVER ENTERED THE CHEST CAVITY!!!!! It was a base ball size and about 1" deep! Second shot was in lungs, between ribs again W/NO exit.
The next season, another buck in a screen of laurels, rubbing his horns. THREE SHOTS at this dumb deer... The bullets hit that screen and came apart, that poor deer looked like swiss cheese!!! He was bleeding form EVERYWHERE!!! But he got the deer...
Last story, We where invited to a new piece of property my brother in law hunts. Story was, a very large buck has been sceen and we are gonna get him...
Well, Pop did see him... he even shot him... he did NOT get him.... WE looked for three days. at one time 10 people and two dogs.... no deer. Good thing is we feel because of the search the deer lived. We looked for a new bullet...
Upon recomendation tried these Speers. I loaded them to about the same 2600 with a med loading of 4320 powder. The very first deer pop shot was buck and was shot at very close range, 20-25 yards. He shot him in the base of the neck, bang flop with a nickle sized entrance and half dollar exit!
That was 15+ deer ago for him and never one lost or even questionable since. 5-6 years back Larry T cut a rim in my Survivor 308 chamber, making me a 307 Handi. This same 165 RN with a stiff charge of H335 shoots just at 1" and drops deer with authority!!
I would look at a accubond that works so well in your 280.
