I "know" i'm "overgunned" for whitetails, but i use my "one gun for everything", and in it i usemy "one load for everything". (200NP's) That means my 8x57jrs "is" morecartridge than i need for whitetails, but i still use it...

I also know anything inside 300 yards is mine, but i don't get shots over 200 yards here on my place, and i'm glad of that...

My "second" in line rifle for deer, is a custom .280 that i have, built on a LH Rem. 700 action... I've harvested whitetails, blk tails, bear, caribou and many other animials with it...

I really think the 280 Rem. is waaay under rated!
