[QUOTE="747, post: 1772931, member: 23925"] PS: I don't think that you should expect to have this project completed within 2 weeks - regardless of the chambering that you ultimately choose! However, I would suggest that if the option of your Dad's .280 is a valid option, I would suggest getting intimately familiar with it for handling and characteristics/capabilities and function at the range as often as possible before your hunt. // Can't think of anything a .270 can do that a .280 won't - except utilizing .270 ammo! PPS: I have a 25/06 Imp. that I love dearly and have used successfully on a number of occasions, for a number of applications - it is a real dream in many ways. I've harvested probably a baker's dozen or so Mulies with one-shot kills. However, for me the limitation is NOT the speed, it has very useful speed, but it does not have the mass that would make it much more efficient/effective for even more applications. // Wouldit be good for other deer-sized game? Of course . . . and caribou, moose, probably black bear but I'd prefer: more mass, a greater selection of bullets etc.. for these apps. and larger/more difficult/possibly more dangerous game. // I have no interest anymore . . . regarding chamberings with less than 7mm/.280 for any hunting of interest to me.
