[QUOTE="rtv900, post: 184377, member: 9837"] Ok. That helps. I want to use a 280 but I had the feeling the 300 would be better. You have helped convince me that the 280 will work for my needs. I own a standard 338 and a few 375 H&H so I am covered on the heavy end (for me at least) for now. I like the idea of a flat shooting cal and I think the 280 Ackley sounds like the way to go. I hunt deer a lot more than elk. Non-Res. Elk tags get expenseive and most of the guys I hunt with cannot afford that so we Whitetail and Mule Deer hunt instead. I however wanted to make sure I could get my once a year shot on an Elk if the shot presented itself. Sounds like I can with a 280 Ackley. Now for the gun. James, I saw that you suggested a 26" barrel. I was going to get a 24" for the 280 rem. Is a 26" better for a 280 Ackley? [/QUOTE]
