Ditto. She is heavy!but using a rest, aside from one broadside through the lungs that ran 80 plus yards 4 of 5 were anchored on the spot through shoulders or shoulder through neck. Shoulder through neck on one buck around 200 yd mark 100 gr stopped against hide after cutting rib and clipping spine.
My previous pet is a 270. 280 seems like 7mm bullets?.
Ahh decisions,decisions!
