Info on .280

[Andy L]

A guy I hunt with alot has a 280 in a Rem 700 Mountain Rifle. I have killed a couple deer with it and it impressed me.

On paper, I dont know what to compare it to. Its flatter than a 270. The BC and SD of the bullets are more comparable to a heavier bullet in a 30 cal. I think its an all around excellent round, IMO. I wouldnt have any trouble gettin one.

When I was debating on rifles for my son, it made the short list. As for the bullets, it was second to being most impressive to the 6.5s in BC and SD.

In the real world, the deer I killed with it and all the ones Ive seen my buddy shoot were bang flops. Very impressive. And Ive seen him take some mighty pokes at deer and still get bang flops.

As for the Win rifle, I have never owned one. Dont know alot about them. I have seen a few shoot and most didnt impress me with the grouping. Maybe bad luck, cant help you there.

Good Luck
Andy
