[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 2263636, member: 307"] Never owned a .280 Rem., but the 6.5-284 Norma will take any of the animals you listed. I've taken whitetails with 140gn class bullets out to 725yds with ease. Others on here have done the same, out to and past 1000yds. Remember, it was the darling of the F-class forever, one reason I read; it provided trajectories similar to the 240gn .30 cal bullet without the recoil. Shot one for many years. Love the .300WM also. With the right set up (i.e., barrel length, weight, bullet weight, stock fit and MB) it's a hammer at any yardage a trophy needs "hammerin". Truthfully, I could live with either one. I'd feel slighted but I could make it. :) [/QUOTE]
