It should be fine.
Shoot placement is the key.

With good shoot placement a 22 long rifle will take deer.

So 140 grain winchester ballistic tips for a 280
Should be OK

Good Luck And Post Them Pictures

I live and hunt in Alabama ...our deer here are somewhat small body wise ... average buck will weigh 150 to 175lbs .... that 280 will do the job ...
