2. 280 rem

I agree with Rocky that they all kill a deer very nicely. I chose them because they give similar ballistics for 3 different bullet weight categories; 1) 80 to 90 gr. for varmints to antelope and deer, 2) 130 to 140gr. for larger deer, hogs, and sheep, and 3) 180 to 250 gr. for elk, moose, bear, etc.
I am building a 375 H&H Magnum. It might be one of my 3 choices after I shoot it a few times and it doesn't kick me too hard and if I get a chance to return to Africa. It definitely would be a choice for dangerous game since it is a minimal caliber in most African countries. I was surprised to see it show up so much as a favorite caliber. I have never shot one.
