[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 194846, member: 10"] I used the 7mm Rem Mag with a 140 gr Ballistic Silvertip for years as my go to rifle. Worked perfectly on heavy northern whitetail and mule deer from 50 to 500 yards. In your 280, it would work just as well because of the slightly lower velocity. I have never seen any reason not to use a "HUNTING" ballistic tip on deer as long as velocity is kept under 3300 fps. That said, the Accubond will open and expand as easily as the ballistic tip but will retain even more weight so it may be the perfect bullet. Either will work great for deer, there really is not a bad choice to make here, the Accubond just a bit more penetration insurance. Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
