[QUOTE="VinceMule, post: 2703719, member: 122164"] Recently, I started running 180g ELD M(.796 BC) in 280, AI, and 7 Rem Mag, it is life-changing to see the results in a lack of bullet drop and wind drift. 280 Rem is amazing with just a smidge of powder with the 180g ELD M! The 7/08 with a 160g TMK and 162 eld X & M are a hammer, 9T unless you are shooting in Extreme cold, below Zero weather. Your style of hunting will determine your barrel length, walking = shorter barrels, sitting in a blind or tree stand + longer barrels, make the barrel as long as you like as long as the handling is good. You can always cut the barrel off and re-crown at a later date if it is too long. I like the Wyatt's extended mag boxes, but rarely if ever shoot more than one shot on a deer or hog, so need in detachable. It is prudent to play close attention to the BC on the bullets you choose, within reason. BC means more impact velocity, less wind drift, and less bullet drop. [/QUOTE]
