[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 789491, member: 61747"] Ran some numbers on the Amax. I have no experience with the Amax and hunting and did not know that bullet is showing a .625 BC. However, you can not buy these over the counter. You will be using the 139's. I have to giggle a bit at Hornady claiming those will fly at 2950. They also claim my 204 with 40's will fly 3900. They are 300 fps off that mark so who know's. 140 VLD is .613. So, given the 7-08 shoots 2750 as a comparison, it does come close in wind MOA and down range energy at the target. Difference in elevation is not all that close....there is a 4.2 MOA difference or 42 inches. I think I would still choose the 7-08 for the kids and wife or the 280 is nice too. My brother had a 280 and it was a nice rifle. [/QUOTE]
