Interesting. I've had one of three different 280s for thirty years. Two were Winchester Model 70, and one was a Remington Model 700. Each of these rifles has always worked to ensure there was venison on our table. Can't see myself without a .280.

Either bullet will serve you well. And either load in your 308 will work very well on game. I sure like the 280, having used the cartridge for years to harvest a good number of mule deer and whitetails.

Welcome aboard, Logan. An excellent first post that every new hunter, and many old hunters, will benefit by reading.

I was offered a handicap parking permit, but couldn't bring myself to park that close to the entrances. It would permit me to shoot from inside my truck, but that had scant appeal for me. Far better to go with some younger men and let them help me. Besides, I enjoy the company as it gives me...

Thanks for asking, Walkinghorse. I'm still around; lurking more than posting. Growing older ain't for wimps! A degenerating cervical spine has left me with with some severe deficits in my ulnar nerves (bilateral). My broken lumbar spine (resulting from some youthful excursions) has also...

Another find day in Africa. (y)
