[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 901294, member: 30902"] There's a lot of argument over whether or not you can spin bullets too fast. Target shooters argue that if you spin them too fast they fail to "tip forward" which makes them inconsistent at long range. With an 8 twist I think you'll be very happy with the 150's though. Pick one of the above suggested bullets and try them in both 140 and 150gr if you like. The 139gr interlock is deadly poison on deer in the 7mm Mag and should work well in the 280 as well. Personally I think you get better overall performance with the 150gr offerings though as the lighter bullets bleed energy pretty quickly once you get past 400yds. [/QUOTE]
