Well I finally put the smack on a whitetail today. Went on a doe hunt with two very good friends for some meat for the freezer. I shot a very old doe at 80 yards and dropped her in her tracks. My first game with one of my handloads and my first game with my new to me .280remington :grin:

The 160 grain AccuBond really did the trick on the doe. Wish I could have recovered the bullet to check for expansion and weight.

Did call in a nice 3 1/2 year old 10 pointer the other night. I could not get turned on him since I had deer to my left and he came in on my right. He got to withing 11 yards :cry:

Congratulations on your doe. You are going to love the 280 Rem, it one smoooth shooter for sure. The 160 gr AB is a great all around bullet too.

Thats what I am using in my 280AI. :grin:

Congrats on your hunt. Once you shoot the 280 (most people are anyway) you will be hooked for life. I actually think venison that is shot by a 280 tastes better too. :lol:
