Thoughts on a .280 Remington on elk and large black bear.
In the .280, a maximum load with a 175-grain Nosler Partition bullet will make a wound just like those made by the 7mm Remington Magnum using the same bullet!
I once killed two 300+ pound black bears with a 20" barreled .270 Win. firing 150-grain Nosler Partition bullets, MV 2800 FPS. Fired three shots, hit them with two. Both dead on the spot, one at 40 yards, one at 200 yards.....
