[QUOTE="snookntarpon, post: 1087199, member: 31823"] I agree with the 280 AI. Just got myself a new 280 and having it reamed for AI. Going to see how it shoots the Nosler factory loads and if not top notch I will get some reloads until i find the right one. But if you are not opposed to leaving the elk out of it (some might use it on elk but I think it is on the light side), make it a 25-06. The 25-06 is a mule deer and whitetail hammer. I have a cooper in 25-06 and this tack driver has the capacity to short circuit deer on the spot out to 500. Not sure what it is but it art's them better than most of my other calibers, and this is the smallest caliber I shoot. Ammo is plentiful off the shelf and reloading lets you really squeeze the max out of it. Pet load is Doubletap ammo's 110 gr NAB 110 gr at a magnetospeed of 3175fps. Zero at 200 and i am over 2000 fps at 600 yards (9.6 moa) and that is my deer limit with this bullet. Love my 7mm bullets on everything, but on anything under 400lbs and 600 yards i will take my quarter bore hammer every day. [/QUOTE]
