[QUOTE="Koda_, post: 2683350, member: 121268"] How do you select which bullet weight to use for hunting? I will be handloading for a new 280AI for elk hunting, 8 twist 26in bbl and want to use a Hammer Hunter. I'm looking thru the various weights they offer and kinda stalled out on picking the heaviest hitting or choosing a lighter flatter weight, or maybe just stay in the middle for an all around compromise. Does it really even matter? I have the basics down but I'm still somewhat new to handloading and have never owned a 280 before. I'm playing around in a ballistic calculator but don't really have a metric to judge a starting velocity for each weight. Hammer Hunters: 143, 146, 155, 169, 177gr. Would just like to hear everyones random advice on what metrics do you use to select a hunting bullet? [/QUOTE]
