[QUOTE="257RobertsMan, post: 1740153, member: 111366"] I've been shooting a 280 Rem for 35 + years, it is a fantastic round. I handload 140gr NAB at 2,950fps and have never recovered one yet and it has always done what was asked without kicking you out from under your hat. A study of performance considering recoil, pressures, etc. compared to other chamberings is quite impressive. For your stated purpose it is a wise choice. I'll have to admit though that I'm wanting it in AI, Don't know why other than added velocity and case life due to shoulder angle. For longer range, bigger critters, the argument can be made to go bigger and faster as is always the case and there are bigger 300wm, 338wm, etc. Long winded to just say, get either and you will not be disappointed.
