Default RE: Need your opinions on the .280

I can' t add much or praise it any more. I use the 120-140 grains for deer and the 160-162 grain for anything bigger. I have had several 280' s and 7MM mags. A good 280 will come very close to matching 7MMag velocities with less powder and less recoil. I once had a model 70 in 7 Mag that would not match the velocity of the 700 BDL remington that I had at the time in 289 with 140 grain bullets. I have talked with other reloaders who have expierenced the same thing.
