[QUOTE="gohring3006, post: 1023239, member: 78762"] In my opinion the .280 for long range TARGET is fine. If I can send a bullet with a medium BC (.495-.600) out of my 30-06 to 1000 yards. Then a high BC 7mm bullet of some flavor will do it better. Targets are different than animals I'm don't have enough experience with the .280 to know how far to stretch it on game. My 30-06 is a medium- heavy sporter contour and it holds at least 1moa to 1000. If you get your load right contour has little effect on bullets. If you get consistent harmonics you can shoot a sporter to 1000. It just seems harder to find a consistent load. What I have found is trigger weight had a major effect on long range accuracy. If I was going to build a rifle it would definitely have a 26 in barrel with a varmint contour. If I have that option.. [/QUOTE]
