[QUOTE="littlewhaler, post: 1407046, member: 50114"] High fives for the 280 AI. I always take my 25-06 on deer hunts, each back each other up 4 deer hunts. Both are hammers, dead right there from very accurate loads/bullet choices. 280AI is more than necessary for deer with 140 gr bullet but it is wonderful back up to the 25-06..the nosler accubond in 25-06 is my first choice, traveling 3125 fps mv. About .50 cent piece exit hole on opposite side deer at 200 yds is normal. Accubonds usually exit, depending on range. Sierra pro hunters usually under hide on far side at 300 yds. Both perform well 4 me 4 many years. 95 % of my whitetail shots are less than 200 yds. Just the opposite on mule deer. Shot placement rules over caliber almost always imho. [/QUOTE]
