[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 57781, member: 8947"] For the last several years, I hunted with the '06 and 165gr SST. Would certainly do what you want. I now shoot a 270 and a 6.5-06. Where I hunt, wind is a big issue. The 150gr SST 270 and 140gr SST 6.5 buck the wind so much better. For me, the bullet performance would be so close that I doubt I could tell the difference. With my current bias, I would lean towards the 270 because factory ammo is everywhere if you need it. 150gr SST at 2800fps will lay low anything you are likely to point it at. If you don't care about factory ammo, then the 280 will offer an advantage when using 162/165gr bullets. You are really getting into a Ford/Chevy/Dodge debate. In all cases, being able to measure the distance accurately will be critical. No cartridge is flat enough when ranges get beyond 300yds. Jerry [/QUOTE]
